Ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat; Loose him, and bring him hither. Mar. 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.
Mat. Go into the village over against you, and straight-

way

Ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her; Loose them, and bring them unto me. Mat. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

Mar. 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.

31 Luke And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him,

Because the Lord hath need of him.

Mat. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the fole of an ass. See John xii. 15.

Mat. And the disciples went,

And did as Jesus commanded them. Mar. 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. And certain of them that stood there, said unto them, What do ye loosing the colt? And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go. 32 Luke And they that were sent, went their way, and found leven as he had said unto them.

And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

Mar. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast Their garments on him; and he sat upon him. 35 Luke And they brought him to Jesus; and they east Their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

Mat. And brought the ass, and the colt, and put
On them their clothes, and they set bim thereon.
Mat. And a very great multitude spread their garments in
the way;
Others cut down branches from the trees, and
strewed them in the way.

Mar. And many spread their garments in the way:

And others cut down branches off the trees, and strewed them in the way.

36 Luke And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way

On

12 12 John On the next day (viz. the day after our Lord-was anointed in Bethany) much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the King of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Luke And when he was come nigh (viz. to Jerusalem) even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, Luke The whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,

Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

Mar. 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.

Mat. 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.

Luke And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cryut. 14 John And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat 15 thereon; as it is written, Fear not, daughter of Sion; behold thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. These things understood not his disciples at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him. The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of nis grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record. For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold the world is gone after him.

Luke And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst Known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy VOL. I.

Mat. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Gali

lee.

Mar. And Jesus entered into Jerusalem,
Mar. And into the temple; and when he had looked round
about upon all things, and now the even-tide was
come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
Sect. 112. The fig-tree is cursed, and the temple is purged,
Mar. And on the morrow, when they were come from Be-
thany, he was hungry. 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 no-
thing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet. And
Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of
thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Mar. And they come to Jerusalem; and Jesus went into
the temple,

And began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple,

Mat. And Jesus went into the temple of God,

And cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple,

45 Luke And he went into the temple,

And began to cast out them that sold therein,
and them that bought.

Mat. And overthrew the tables of the money-changers,
And the seats of them that sold doves.
Mar. And overthrew the tables of the money-changers,
And the seats of them that sold doves.

Mar. And would not suffer that any man should carry any
vessel through the temple.

Mar. 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.
Mat. And he said unto them, It is written, My house
Shall be called the house of prayer,

But ye have made it a den of thieves.

46 Luke Saying unto them, It is written, My house

Is the house of prayer,

But ye have made it a den of thieves.

Mat. And the blind and the lame came to him in the tem. ple, and he healed them. 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, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye ne. ver read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise ?

Mar. And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought

how

Mar. how they might destroy him; for they feared him,
because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
Mar. And when even was come, he went out of the city.
Mat. And he left them, and went out of the city into Be-

thany, and he lodged there.

Mat. Now in the morning, (viz. of the day the transactions of which the Evangelist had been relating; not the morn ing of the following day as is commonly supposed), as he returned into the city, he hungered, (επεινασι, be bad become hungry). 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.

Mar. And in the morning (viz. next morning, the morning after that on which the fig-tree was cursed, and the tem ple purged, as is evident from the preceding verse in Mark) as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance, saith unto him, Master, behold the fig-tree which thou cursedst, is withered away.

Mat. And when the disciples saw it, (viz. next day) they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered away?

Mat. 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

Mar. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in
God. For verily I say unto you,

That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, (the mount of Olives on which they were walking)

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.

Mat. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,
Believing, ye shall receive.
Mar. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye
desire when ye pray,

Believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have

them.

Mar. 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. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven

forgive your trespasses.

Luke And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, And could not find what they might do; for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Luke And it came to pass, that on one of those days, As he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel,

The chief priests and the scribes came upon him, with the elders.

Mar. And they come again to Jerusalem :

And as he was walking in the temple, There come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders. Mat. And when he was come into the temple,

The chief priests, and the elders of the people came unto him

As he was teaching

Mat. And said, By what authority doest thou these

things?

And who gave thee this authority? Mar. And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things?

And who gave thee this authority to do these things?

Luke And spake unto him, saying, Tell us by what authority doest thou these things?

Or who is he that gave thee this authority? Luke And ne answered and said unto them, I will

also ask you one thing,
And answer me.

Mar. 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.

Mat. And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing,

Which if ye tell me, I in likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things?
