Matthew 21
1 And when they approached Jerusalem, and had reached Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϩⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲥⲟⲗⲩⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲏⲇⲫⲁⲅⲏ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲧ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ
2 "Go on into the village facing you, and at once you will find an ass tied, and her colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me.

3 "And if any one says anything to you, tell him, ‘The Master needs them,’ and he will send them without delay."

4 This happened in fulfilment of the word spoken though the prophet.

5 Say to the daughter of Zion, "Behold thy King cometh to thee, Gentle and sitting upon an ass, And upon a colt, the fool of a beast of burden."

6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus told them;

8 Then Jesus seated himself upon them, and most of the crowd kept spreading their cloaks on the road, and others began cutting branches off the trees, and spreading them in the road.

9 And the crowds who preceded and those who followed after him shouted again and again, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed be he who is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

10 And as he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred. "Who is this?" they said.

11 And the crowds answered, "This is the Prophet Jesus, from Nazareth, in Galilee."

12 Then Jesus entered into the Temple courts, and cast out all who were buying and selling there, and overturned the tables of the money- changers, and the seats of those who sold pigeons.

13 "It is written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves."

14 Then the blind and the lame came to him in the Temple courts, and he healed them.

15 But when the chief priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful works he did, and the boys who were shouting in the Temple Courts and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!"
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲛⲉϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲩϫⲓϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲱⲥⲁⲛⲛⲁ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲇⲁⲩⲉⲓⲇ ⲁⲩⲁⲕⲁⲛⲁⲅⲧⲉⲓ
16 they asked him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" "Surely," said Jesus, "and have you never read, Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"

17 So he left them and went outside the city, to Bethany, and spent the night there.

18 At dawn, when he was on his way back into the city, he was hungry;

19 and when he saw a solitary fig tree beside the road, he went to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "Let no man gather fruit from you forever." And at once the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)

20 When his disciples saw this, they were astonished. "How instantaneously," they said, "the fig tree withered!"

21 In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Up, cast yourself into the sea!’ it shall be done;

23 When he had entered the Temple courts, and was teaching, the high priests and elders of the people came to him and asked him, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"
