Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2And saith unto them, Go your way into the
village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied,
whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3And if any man say unto you, Why do ye
this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. 4And
they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways
met; and they loose him. 5And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye,
loosing the colt? 6And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let themgo. 7And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon
him. 8And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the
trees, and strawed them in the way. 9And they that went before, and they that fol lowed,
cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna
in the highest.
11And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round
about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the
twelve.
12And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13And seeing a
fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when
he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14And Jesus
answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples
heard it.
15And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them
that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the
seats of them that sold doves; 16And would not suffer that any man should carry anyvessel
through the temple. 17And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be
called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of
soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the
Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went
out and asked them, Who is it you want?
5 Jesus of Nazareth, they replied.
I am he, Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing
there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, I am he, they drew
back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, Who is it you want?
Jesus of Nazareth, they said.
8 Jesus answered, I told you that I am he. If you are looking
for me, then let these men go. 9 This happened so that the
words he had spoken would be fulfilled: I have not lost one
of those you gave me.[a]
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the
high priests servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servants
name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter, Put your sword away! Shall I not
drink the cup the Father has given me?
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and
the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and
brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of
Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one
who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if
one man died for the people.
