Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) Triumphal Entry
21 And when they drew nigh unto (closer to) Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye (you) shall find an ass (a donkey) tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
(NOTE: colt = a young donkey)
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye (you) shall say, The Lord hath (has) need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye (you) the daughter of Sion (Zion; the hill of Jerusalem on which the city of David was built), Behold, thy (your) King cometh unto thee (comes to you), meek (gentle), and sitting upon an ass (a donkey), and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass (donkey), and the colt (young male horse), and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon (and placed their coats on them; and Jesus sat on the coats).
8 And a very great multitude (crowd) spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes (crowds) that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh (comes) in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude (crowd) said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Jesus (Yeshua) Cleanses the Temple
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye (you) have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 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 (indignant, annoyed),
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou (Hear you) what these say? And Jesus saith unto (said to) them, Yea (Yes); have ye (you) never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast (you have) perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
The Withered Fig Tree
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered (was hungry).
19 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 (Never again will fruit come from you). And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily (Truly) I say unto you, If ye (you) have faith, and doubt not, ye (you) shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye (you) shall say unto this mountain, Be thou (you) removed, and be thou (you) cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye (you) shall ask in prayer, believing, ye (you) shall receive.

26 And thou shalt (you shall) make two rings of gold, and thou shalt (you shall) put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.
27 And two other rings of gold thou shalt (you shall) make, and shalt (shall) put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
