As Jesus and his disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead.
The Triumphal Entry

“Go into that village over there,” he told them. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
If anyone asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it soon.’”
And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
The two disciples left and found the colt standing in the street, tied outside the front door.
And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
As they were untying it, some bystanders demanded, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
They said what Jesus had told them to say, and they were permitted to take it.
And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it, and he sat on it.
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
Many in the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others spread leafy branches they had cut in the fields.
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
So Jesus came to Jerusalem and went into the Temple. After looking around carefully at everything, he left because it was late in the afternoon. Then he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples.
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
The next morning as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
He noticed a fig tree in full leaf a little way off, so he went over to see if he could find any figs. But there were only leaves because it was too early in the season for fruit.
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
Then Jesus said to the tree, “May no one ever eat your fruit again!” And the disciples heard him say it.
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Jesus Clears the Temple
When they arrived back in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people buying and selling animals for sacrifices. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves,

And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
When the leading priests and teachers of religious law heard what Jesus had done, they began planning how to kill him. But they were afraid of him because the people were so amazed at his teaching.
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
And when even was come, he went out of the city.
The next morning as they passed by the fig tree he had cursed, the disciples noticed it had withered from the roots up.
The Withered Fig Tree
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
Peter remembered what Jesus had said to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree you cursed has withered and died!”
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God.
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Again they entered Jerusalem. As Jesus was walking through the Temple area, the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders came up to him.

They demanded, “By what authority are you doing all these things? Who gave you the right to do them?”
And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
“I’ll tell you by what authority I do these things if you answer one question,” Jesus replied.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
“Did John’s authority to baptize come from heaven, or was it merely human? Answer me!”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
They talked it over among themselves. “If we say it was from heaven, he will ask why we didn’t believe John.
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
But do we dare say it was merely human?” For they were afraid of what the people would do, because everyone believed that John was a prophet.
But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
