¹ This happened so that what was spoken by the prophet would be fulfilled, saying:

² "Tell the daughter of Zion (the people of Jerusalem), 'Behold, your King is coming to you, Gentle and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.'"

³ Then the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them,

⁴ and they brought the donkey and[1] the colt, and[2] placed their coats on them; and Jesus sat on the coats.

⁵ Most of the crowd spread their coats on the road [as before a king], while others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.

⁶ The crowds that went ahead of Him, and those that followed Him, were shouting [in praise and adoration], "[3] Hosanna to the Son of David (Messiah); Blessed [praised, glorified] is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest [heaven]!"

⁷ When He entered Jerusalem, all the city was trembling [with excitement], saying, "Who is this?"

⁸ And the crowds were saying, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee."

⁹ And Jesus entered the temple [grounds] and drove out [with force] all who were buying and selling [birds and animals for sacrifice] in the temple area, and He turned over the tables of the moneychangers [who made a profit exchanging foreign money for temple coinage] and the chairs of those who were selling doves [for sacrifice].

¹⁰ Jesus said to them, "It is written [in Scripture], 'My house shall be called a house of prayer'; but you are making it a robbers' den."

¹¹ And the blind and the lame came to Him in [the porticoes and courts of] the temple area, and He healed them.

¹² But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful and miraculous things that Jesus had done, and heard the[4] boys who were shouting in [the porticoes and courts of] the temple [in praise and adoration], "Hosanna to the Son of David (the Messiah)," they became indignant

¹³ and they said to Him, "Do You hear what these children are saying?" And Jesus replied to them, "Yes; have you never read [in the Scripture], 'Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have prepared and provided praise for Yourself'?"

¹⁴ Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.

¹⁵ Now early in the morning, as Jesus was coming back to the city, He was hungry.

¹⁶ Seeing a lone fig tree at the roadside, He went to it and found nothing but leaves on it; and He said to it, "Never again will fruit come from you." And at once the fig tree withered.

¹⁷ When the disciples saw it, they were astonished and asked, "How is it that the fig tree has withered away all at once?"
