Matthew 21:1-17

Worrell(i) 1 And, when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples. 2 saying to them, "Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; having loosed them, lead them to Me. 3 And, if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, 'The Lord hath need of them;' and straight-way he will send them." 4 Now this has come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, 5 "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your King is coming to you, meek and mounted upon an ass, and on a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.'" 6 And the disciples, going and doing as Jesus commanded them, 7 led the ass and the colt, and put upon them their garments; and He sat thereon. 8 And most of the multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the way. 9 And the multitudes, who were going before Him, and those who were following, were crying, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He Who cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" 10 And, when He entered into Jerusalem, all the city was startled, saying, "Who is this?" 11 And the multitudes said, "This is the Prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee." 12 And Jesus entered into the temple, and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those selling the doves. 13 And He saith to them, "It has been written, 'My house, shall be called a house of prayer; but ye are making it a den of robbers!'" 14 And the blind and lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 And the high-priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things which He did, and the boys who were crying in the temple, and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" were much displeased, 16 and said to Him, "Dost Thou hear what these are saying?" And Jesus saith to them, "Yes; did ye never read, 'Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst perfect praise!'" 17 And, leaving them, He went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
