Matthew 21:1-17

JuliaSmith(i) 1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, saying to them, 2 Go ye into the town opposite to us, and quickly shall ye find an ass bound, and a colt with her; having loosed, bring to me. 3 And if any one say to you, Why? ye shall say, That the Lord has need of them; and quickly will he send them. 4 And the whole of this was, that that spoken by the prophet be completed; saying, 5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and a colt, son of a beast of burthen. 6 And the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus commanded them, 7 Brought the ass, and colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat over them. 8 And a very great crowd strewed their garments in the way; and others cut down young shoots from the trees, and strewed in the way. 9 And the crowds leading before, and following, cried, saying, Osanna to the son of David: he coming in the name of the Lord being praised; Osanna in the highest ones. 10 And he having come to Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this? 11 And the crowds said, This is Jesus, the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee. 12 And Jesus came into the temple of God, and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the money-changers' tables, and the seats of those selling doves, 13 And he says to them, It was written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; and ye have made it a den of robbers. 14 And the blind and lame came to him in the temple; and he cured them. 15 And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things which he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Osanna to the son of David; they felt pain. 16 And they said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yes; have ye never read, That out of the mouths of young children and sucklings thou hast adjusted praise? 17 And leaving them, he went without the city, to Bethany; and lodged there.
