1 When they approached Jerusalem, toward Bethphage and Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, [Jesus] sends two of His disciples
2 And saith unto them, Go to the village that is before you; Entering it, you will immediately find a tied young donkey, on which none of the people sat down; Untie it, bring it.
3 And if someone tells you: what are you doing? - Answer that he needs the Lord; And will immediately send him here.
4 They went, and found a young donkey, tied at the gate in the street, and untied it.
5 And some of those who stood there said to them, "What are you doing?" [Why] do you untie the colt?
6th They answered them, as Jesus commanded; And they let them go.
7th And they brought the colt to Jesus, and put their clothes on him. [Jesus] sat down on him.
8 Many have spread their clothes along the way; While others cut the branches from the trees and spread them along the road.
9 And those who preceded and accompanied were shouting: Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
eleven And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; And, having examined everything, as time was already later, went to Bethany with the twelve.

12 The next day, when they left Bethany, He hungered;
13 And when he saw from afar a fig tree covered with leaves, he went and found anything on it; But when he came to her, he found nothing except the leaves, for it was not yet time to gather figs.
14 And Jesus said to her: henceforth let no one eat of you fruit forever! And his disciples heard it.
15 We came to Jerusalem. Jesus entered the temple and began to expel those who sold and bought in the temple; And the tables of the money changers and the bench selling pigeons overturned;
16 And did not allow anyone to carry through the temple any thing.
17th And he taught them, saying, Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations? But you made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and the chief priests heard this, and sought to destroy it, because they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his teaching.
19 When it was too late, He went out of the city.
20 In the morning, when they passed by, they saw that the fig tree had withered to the root.
21 And remembering, Peter said to Him: Rabbi! Look, the fig tree you cursed is withered.
22 Jesus answering said to them:
23 Have the faith of God, for verily I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, get up and be cast into the sea, and do not doubt in your heart, but will believe that what will come to pass in his words will be to him whatever he says.
24 Therefore I say to you: whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you will receive, and you will be.
25 And when you stand in prayer, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your heavenly Father will forgive you your trespasses.
26th If you do not forgive, your heavenly Father will not forgive your trespasses.

27th We came again to Jerusalem. And when He walked in the temple, the high priests and scribes and elders came to Him
28 And they said to Him, By what authority are You doing this? And who gave you the authority to do this?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask you of one thing, answer me. And I will tell you by what authority I do this.
thirty Was John's baptism from heaven, or from men? Answer me.
31 They reasoned among themselves: if we say: from heaven, - He will say: why did you not believe him?
32 But to say: from men - they feared the people, because everyone believed that John was exactly a prophet.
33 And they answered Jesus, "We do not know." Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do this."
