Matthew 21:1-17

Noyes(i) 1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, Go m the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; loose and bring them to me. 3 And if any one say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and he will immediately send them. 4 Now this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, 5 "Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king cometh to thee, meek, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of a beast of burden." 6 And the disciples o went, and did as Jesus bade them, 7 and brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat on them. 8 And very many of the multitude spread their garments in the road; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the road. 9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, were crying out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens! 10 And when he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, saying, Who is this? 11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee. 12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of those who sold the doves; 13 and said to them, It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer; but ye make it a den of robbers." 14 And the blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them. 15 But the chief priests and the scribes, when they saw the wonderful things which he did, and the children that were crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, were much displeased; 16 and said to him, Dost thou hear what these say? But Jesus saith to them, Yea; did ye never read, "From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou didst prepare praise"? 17 And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
