ou will find a colt tied, which no one has ever ridden.
Untie it and bring it here. If any one asks you, 'Why are you doing
that?' say, 'The Master needs it and will immediately send it back.'"

So they left him and found a colt tied, outside a door, on the street.
As they untied it, some of the men standing there said, "What are you
doing, untying the colt?" The disciples answered as Jesus had told them,
and the men let them take it. When they had brought it to Jesus, they
threw their cloaks upon it, and he mounted it. Many also spread their
clothes on the road, while others strewed leafy branches cut from the
fields; and people in front and behind kept shouting:

"God save him!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Blessed is the coming Kingdom of our father David!
God on high, save him!"

Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple. And when he had looked

killed by the fall of the tower of Siloam--do you suppose that they were
worse sinners than the rest of the people of Jerusalem? No, I tell you;
and unless you are sorry for your sins and do right, you too will all
perish."

Then Jesus went into the Temple, and drove out those who were buying and

of those who sold doves, and would allow no one to carry any goods
through the Temple. For he said to them, "Is it not written, 'My house
shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it
a den of robbers!" When the chief priests and scribes heard of it, they
began to look for some way of putting him to death, for they feared him
because all the people were deeply stirred by his teachings. But each
evening he and his disciples left the city.

Then once more Jesus and his disciples entered Jerusalem, and as he was
walking about the Temple, some high priests and scribes and elders came
