1 And when they approach to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethania towards the Mount of Olives, He sends two of His students,2 and says to them: "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately going into it you shall find a leashed colt, upon which not one man has ever yet sat. Release and bring it,3 and if anyone should ask you 'Why do you do this?' you say 'The Prince has need of it', and immediately he sends it back here."4 And they went off and found a colt leashed at a door outside by the street and they released it.5 And some of those standing there said to them: "What do you do releasing the colt?"6 Then they spoke to them just as Yahshua has said, and they permitted them.7 And they bring the colt to Yahshua and put their garments upon it, and He sat upon it.8 And many spread their garments in the road, but other straw having been cut from the fields.9 And those going ahead and those following cried out: "O salvation! Blessed is He coming in the Name of Yahweh!10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! O salvation in the heights!"11 And He entered into Jerusalem into the temple and having looked around at everything, it already being of a late hour, He went out into Bethania with the twelve.12 And in the morning upon His coming out from Bethania He hungered.13 And seeing a fig tree from afar off having leaves He went, if then He should find something in it, and coming to it He found nothing except leaves - for it was not the season for figs.14 And responding He said to it: "No longer forever should anyone eat fruit from you!" And the students heard Him.15 And they come into Jerusalem. And upon entering into the temple He began to cast out the dealers and buyers in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the bankers and the seats of those selling doves,16 and He did not allow that anyone should carry baggage through the temple.17 And He instructed and said to them: "Is it not written that 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the Nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers!"18 And the high priests and the scribes heard it and they sought how they could destroy Him, for they feared Him, for all the crowd was astonished by His teaching.19 And when it became late, they went outside of the city.20 And passing by in the morning they saw the fig tree had withered from the roots.21 And Petros remembering says to Him: "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You have cursed is withered!"22 And responding Yahshua says to him: "Do you have faith in Yahweh?23 Truly I say to you, that he who should say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea', and does not doubt in his heart but would believe that that which he speaks shall happen, it shall be for him.24 For this reason I say to you, all things whatever you pray for and you request, believe that you have received, and it shall be for you.25 And when you stand praying, forgive it if you have anything against someone, in order that also your Father who is in the heavens would forgive for you your transgressions."27 And they go again into Jerusalem. And upon His walking in the temple the high priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him,28 and they said to Him: "By what authority do You do these things? Or who has given You this authority, that You should do these things?"29 So Yahshua said to them: "I shall ask you one question, and you answer Me and I shall tell you by what authority I do these things:30 The immersion of Iohannes, was it from of heaven or from of men? Answer Me!"31 And they disputed among themselves saying: "If we should say 'From of heaven', He shall say 'Then for what reason had you not believed him?'32 But should we say 'From of men'?" (They feared the crowd, for they all held Iohannes as being that he was a prophet.)33 And replying to Yahshua they say "We do not know." And Yahshua says to them: "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things!"
