8Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.8And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.13Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

But you have made it 'a den of robbers.'"17And He began to teach and say to them, "Is it not written, 'MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE NATIONS '? But you have made it a ROBBERS' DEN."
18The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.18The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

22"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.22And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God.
23"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.23"Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.
24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.24"Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."25"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.

28"By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you authority to do this?"28and began saying to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?"
29Jesus replied, "I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.29And Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30John's baptism--was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!"30"Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me."
31They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why didn't you believe him?'31They began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
32But if we say, 'Of human origin' . . . " (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)32"But shall we say, 'From men '?"-- they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet.
33So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."33Answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things."
