{35}
And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.
|
{36}
And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
|
{37}
And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen;
|
{38}
saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
|
{39}
And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
|
{40}
And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
|
{41}
And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
|
{42}
saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
|
{43}
For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
|
{44}
and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
|
{45}
And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,
|
{46}
saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
|
{47}
And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:
|
{48}
and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

|
{1}
And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
|
{2}
and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
|
{3}
And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
|
{4}
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
|
{5}
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
|
{6}
But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
|
{7}
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].
