And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him.

And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither.

And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him.

And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them.

And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him.

And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed 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: Hosanna in the highest.

And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.

And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry.

And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs.

And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever! And his disciples heard it.

And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves.

And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written: My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves.

Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.

And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.

And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away.

And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God.

Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.

Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you.

And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins.

But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in heaven forgive you your sins.

And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?

And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word. And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.

But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.

And they made him a supper there: and Martha served. But Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.

Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:

Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?

Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.

Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.

For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.

A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:

Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away and believed in Jesus.

And on the next day, a great multitude that was come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

Took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him and cried Hosanna. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.

And Jesus found a young ass and sat upon it, as it is written:

Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.

These things his disciples did not know at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him and that they had done these things to him.

The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave and raised him from the dead.

For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? Behold, the whole world is gone after him.

Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.

These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.

Philip cometh and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.

Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die,

Itself remaineth alone. But if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world keepeth it unto life eternal.

If any man minister to me, let him follow me: and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.

Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.

Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.

The multitude therefore that stood and heard said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.

Jesus answered and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.

Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.

(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)

The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever. And how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke: and he went away and hid himself from them.

And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:

That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again:

He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart and be converted: and I should heal them.

These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.

However, many of the chief men also believed in him: but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue.

For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

But Jesus cried and said: He that believeth in me doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.

And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.

I am come, a light into the world, that whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness.

And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge him for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

He that despiseth me and receiveth not my words hath one that judgeth him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say and what I should speak.

And I know that his commandment is life everlasting. The things therefore that I speak, even as the Father said unto me, so do I speak.
