1 Jesus came near Jerusalem. He was by Bethphage and Bethany, by the hill called the Mount of Olives. He sent two friends. ️⛰️ 2 Jesus spoke to the two friends: <jesus>Go to the town. You will see a young donkey tied there. No one has sat on it. Untie it and bring it.</jesus> ➡️ 3 Jesus said: <jesus>If someone asks, “Why are you doing this?” say, “The Lord needs it. He will send it back soon.”</jesus> ️ 4 The friends went. They found the young donkey tied at a door by the street. They untied it. 5 Some people there asked, “What are you doing? Why are you untying the young donkey?” ❓ 6 The friends said what Jesus told them. The people let them go. ️ 7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus. They put coats on it. Jesus sat on it. 8 Many people put coats on the road. Others cut branches and put them down. ️ 9 People in front and back shouted, “Hosanna! God bless Him! He comes from the Lord!” 10 They said, “God bless the new King from David’s family! Hosanna up high!” 11 Jesus went into Jerusalem and into God’s big house. He looked at everything. It was late. He went to Bethany with His twelve friends. ️ 12 The next day, they left Bethany. Jesus was hungry. 13 Jesus saw a fig tree with leaves far away. He went to see if it had fruit. It had only leaves. It was not time for figs. ❌ 14 Jesus spoke to the tree: <jesus>No one will eat fruit from you again.</jesus> His friends heard Him. 15 They went to Jerusalem. Jesus went into God’s house. He saw people selling things. He made them go out. He flipped the tables. He stopped people who sold birds. ⛪⛔️ 16 He did not let anyone carry stuff through God’s house. ✋⛪ 17 Jesus taught and said: <jesus>God says, “My house is for prayer for all people.” But you made it a place for bad people.</jesus> 18 The leaders heard Him. They wanted to stop Him. They were afraid of Him. All the people were surprised at His teaching. 19 That evening, Jesus and His friends left the city. ♂️ 20 In the morning, they saw the fig tree. It was dry from the roots. 21 Peter remembered. He said, “Teacher, look! The tree You spoke to is dry.” ️ 22 Jesus said: <jesus>Have faith in God.</jesus> ✝️❤️ 23 Jesus said: <jesus>Tell this big hill, “Move into the sea!” Do not stop trusting. Trust God. It will happen.</jesus> ⛰️➡️✅ 24 Jesus said: <jesus>When you pray, ask God. Believe. You will get it.</jesus> ️❤️ 25 Jesus said: <jesus>When you pray, forgive other people. Then God will forgive you.</jesus> ❤️ 26 Jesus said: <jesus>If you do not forgive, God will not forgive you.</jesus> ⚠️ 27 They came again to Jerusalem. Jesus walked in God’s house. The leaders came to Him. ️⛪♂️⚖️ 28 They said, “Who gave You the right to do this?” ❓ 29 Jesus said: <jesus>I will ask you one thing. If you tell Me, I will tell you who gave Me the right.</jesus> ❓ 30 Jesus said: <jesus>John dunked people in water. Was it from God or from people? Tell Me.</jesus> ❓ 31 The leaders talked to each other. “If we say, ‘From God,’ He will say, ‘Why did you not believe?’” ️ 32 “But if we say, ‘From people,’ the crowd will be mad.” All the people thought John was a man from God. 33 So they said to Jesus, “We do not know.” Jesus said: <jesus>I will not tell you who gave Me the right.</jesus> ♂️
