    If you are willing to accept it, he isElijah who is to come.

    So the disciples asked him, "Why,then, do the scribes say that Elijahmust come first?

    But I tell you that Elijah has alreadycome, yet people did not recognizehim and treated him just as theypleased. In the same way, the Sonof Man is going to suffer at theirhands."

    (b) No

    This was John's testimony whenthe Jewish leaders sent priests

    and descendants of Levi to himfrom Jerusalem to ask him, "Whoare you?

    He spoke openly and, remainingtrue to himself, admitted, "I amnot the Messiah.

    So they asked him, "Well then,are you Elijah?" John said, "I amnot." "Are you the Prophet?" Heanswered, "No."

    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.

    Did Judas kiss Jesus?(a) Yes

    Now the betrayer

    personally had given them a

    signal, saying, "The one I

    kiss is the man. Arrest

    him."So Judas immediatelywent up to Jesus and said,

    "Hello, Rabbi!" and kissed

    him tenderly.

    (b) No

    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.
