2 a nd said unto them, Go to the place which is before you; and as soon as ye are entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which no man ever sat; loose him and bring him.

and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it.

3 A nd if anyone says unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord has need of him, and straightway he will send him here.

And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.

And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.

5 A nd some of those that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

9 A nd those that went before and those that followed cried out, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord;

13 a nd seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing upon her; but when he came to her, he found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet.

And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.

18 A nd the scribes and the princes of the priests heard it and sought how they might kill him, for they feared him because all the multitude was astonished at his doctrine.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard, and they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine.

23 F or verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Remove thyself and cast thyself into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says shall be done whatsoever he says shall be done unto him.

Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.

24 T herefore I say unto you that everything that ye ask for, praying, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come upon you.

For this reason I say to you, All things whatsoever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come to pass for you.

25 A nd when ye are praying, forgive if ye have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in the heavens will also forgive you your trespasses.

And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.

But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.

And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,

28 a nd said unto him, By what faculty doest thou these things? and who gave thee this faculty to do these things?

and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?

29 T hen Jesus, answering, said unto them, I will also ask of you one word, and respond unto me, and I will tell you with what faculty I do these things.

And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

30 T he baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men? Respond unto me.

The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me.

31 T hen they thought inside themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?

32 B ut if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people, for everyone judged regarding John that he truly was a prophet.

but should we say, Of men—they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.

33 A nd answering, they said unto Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Neither shall I tell you with what faculty I do these things.

And they answering say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
