m, as Jesus commanded them: and they permitted them to do
it. (7)And they brought the colt to Jesus, and put on him their
garments; and he rode upon it. (8)And multitudes spread their garments
on the road: and others cut off boughs from the trees, and strewed them
on the road. (9)And they who went before, and who followed after,
cried, saying, Hosanna: blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord. (10)Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that is coming in
the name of the Lord: hosanna in the highest. (11)And Jesus entered
into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and looking round about upon all
things, it being now even-tide, he departed to Bethany with the twelve.
(12)And on the morrow, as they were coming out of Bethany, he was
hungry: (13)and seeing a fig-tree at a distance, full of leaves, he
went to it, expecting probably that he might find some fruit upon it:
and when he came to it, he found none, only leaves: for it was not a
_good_ season for figs. (14)And Jesus spake and said to it, Let no man
eat fruit from thee henceforth for ever. And his disciples heard him.

the city.
(20)And in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig-tree
withered from the roots. (21)And Peter reminding him said, Rabbi,
behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is withered away. (22)And
Jesus answering said to them, Have faith in God. (23)For verily I say
to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up,
and be thou cast into the sea; and shall harbour no doubt in his heart,
but believe that what he saith shall come to pass; whatsoever he may
speak shall be done for him. (24)Therefore I say unto you, That all
