When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage 1 and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples Jhn 12:14-19Luk 19:29-40Mat 21:1-11Act 1:12Jhn 8:1Mat 21:17Mat 24:3Mat 26:30 and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him. Mat 21:2-3Luk 19:30-31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.” 2Co 8:9Act 10:36Act 17:25Heb 2:7-9Mrk 14:151Ch 29:12-18Act 1:24Psa 110:3
They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him. Heb 11:8Luk 19:32-34Jhn 2:5Mat 21:6-7Mat 26:19 Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?” They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it. Luk 19:35-36Zec 9:9Mat 21:4-5Mat 21:7-8Jhn 12:12-162Ki 9:13 Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. Lev 23:40 Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! 2 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 3 Psa 118:25-26Mat 21:9Luk 19:37-38Mat 23:39Jhn 12:13Jhn 19:15 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” Ezk 37:24-25Luk 2:14Luk 19:38-40Amo 9:11-12Ezk 34:23-24Luk 1:31-33Hos 3:5Isa 9:6-7
Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. Jhn 8:1-2Zep 1:12Ezk 8:9Luk 19:41-45Luk 21:37-38Mal 3:1Mat 21:10-17
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. Mat 21:18-22Mat 4:2Jhn 19:28Heb 2:17Jhn 4:31-33Jhn 4:6-7Luk 4:2 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. Luk 13:6-9Mat 21:19Isa 5:7Luk 12:6-71Sa 6:9Luk 10:31Rut 2:3 Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it. Mat 21:19Mat 3:10Mat 7:19Jhn 15:6Mrk 11:20-21Isa 5:5-6Mat 12:33-35Deu 6:4-8
They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves. Jhn 2:13-17Mat 21:12-16Luk 19:45-47Deu 14:25-26 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple. He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? 4 But you have made it a den of robbers!” 5 Isa 56:7Jer 7:11Luk 19:46Jhn 2:161Ki 8:41-48Isa 60:7Hos 12:7
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching. Mat 7:28Mrk 12:12Act 24:25Jhn 11:53-57Luk 4:22Mrk 1:22Mrk 11:32Mrk 14:1-2
When evening came, he went out of the city. Luk 21:37Mrk 11:11Jhn 12:36 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots. Mat 15:13Jhn 15:6Mat 13:6Mat 21:19-22Mrk 11:14Isa 40:24Heb 6:8Isa 5:4 Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.” 1Co 16:22Mat 23:7Mat 25:41Pro 3:33Zec 5:3-4
Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Psa 62:8Jhn 14:1Mrk 9:232Ch 20:20Isa 7:9Tit 1:1Col 2:12 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says. Mat 17:20Jhn 15:7Mat 21:21Psa 37:4Jhn 14:13Jas 1:5-6Luk 17:6Heb 11:17-19 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them. Mat 21:221Jn 5:14-151Jn 3:22Jas 1:5-6Jhn 15:7Mat 18:19Jhn 14:13Mat 7:7-11 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions. Mat 6:14-15Col 3:13Eph 4:32Luk 6:37Jas 2:13Mat 6:12Mat 5:23Mat 18:23-35 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.” 6
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him, Luk 20:1-8Mat 21:23-27Act 4:27-28Psa 2:1-5Act 4:5-8Jhn 10:23Jhn 18:20Mrk 14:1 and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?” Exo 2:14Act 7:27-28Act 7:38-39Act 7:51Num 16:13Num 16:3
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Isa 52:13Luk 20:3-8Mat 21:24 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.” Jhn 1:15-36Jhn 1:6-8Jhn 3:25-36Luk 3:1-20Mat 3:1-17Mrk 1:1-11Mrk 9:13
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ Jhn 1:15Jhn 1:29Jhn 1:34Jhn 1:36Jhn 3:29-36Mat 11:7-14Mat 21:25-27Mat 21:31-32 If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet. Mat 14:5Mat 21:46Mrk 12:12Act 5:26Jhn 10:41Luk 20:19Luk 20:6-8Luk 22:2 They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Isa 6:9-102Co 4:3-42Th 2:10-122Co 3:15Isa 1:3Isa 29:9-14Isa 42:19-20Isa 56:10
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
