the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto
him, We are able.
[23] And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with
the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but
it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
[24] And when the ten heard it, they were
moved with indignation against the two brethren.
[25] But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know
that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority
upon them.
[26] But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your
minister;
[27] And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
[28] Even as the Son of
man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
[29] And as
they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
[30] And, behold, two blind men sitting by
the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou
Son of David.
[31] And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried
the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
[32] And Jesus stood still, and called
them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
[33] They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may
be opened.
[34] So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes
received sight, and they followed him.
Matt.21
[1] And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives,
then sent Jesus two disciples,
[2] Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway
ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
[3] And if any man say
ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
[4] All this
was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
[5] Tell ye the daughter
of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an
ass.
[6] And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
[7] And brought the ass, and the
colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
[8] And a very great multitude spread their
garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
[9] And the
multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he
that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
[10] And when he was come into Jerusalem,
all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
[11] And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of
Nazareth of Galilee.
[12] And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and
bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves,
[13] And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have
made it a den of thieves.
[14] And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
[15]
And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in
the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
[16] And said unto him,
Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth
of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
[17] And he left them, and went out of the city into
Bethany; and he lodged there.
[18] Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
[19] And
when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said
unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
[20]
And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
[21] Jesus
answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do
this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
[22] And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye
shall receive.
[23] And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people
came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority?
[24] And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if
ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
[25] The baptism of John, whence
was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
[26] But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the
people; for all hold John as a prophet.
[27] And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he
said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
[28] But what think ye? A certain
