A   And when they came nye to Ierusalem vnto Betphage ∧ Bethanie, besydes mount Olyuete, he sendeth forth two of hys discyples, and sayeth vnto th&ebar;: Go youre waye into the toune, that is ouer agaynst you. ^note And as sone as ye be entred into it: ye shall fynde a colte bounde, wheron neuer m&abar; sate: lose hym, and brynge hym hither. And yf eny man saye vnto you: why do ye so? Saye ye, that the Lorde hath neade of hym: and streyght waye he wyll sende hym hyther. And they went theyr waye, and found the colte tyed by the dore wythout in a place wher two wayes met, ∧ they losed hym. And dyuers of them that stode there, sayde vnto them: ^note what do ye, losynge the colte? And they sayde vnto them, euen as Iesus had commaunded. And they let them go. And they brought the colte to Iesus and cast theyr garmentes on hym: and he sate vpon hym. And many sprede theyr garmentes in the waye. B   Other cut downe braunches of the trees, and strawed them in the waye. And they that went before and they that folowed: cryed, saying. Hosanna: ^note blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde. Blessed be the kyngdome, that c&obar;meth in the name of hym that is Lorde of oure father Dauid: Hosanna in the hyest

And the Lorde entred into Ierusalem and into the temple. And wh&ebar; he had loked ro&ubar;d about vpon all thynges, and now the euen tyde was come, he went out vnto Bethany wyth the twelue. ^noteAnd on the morow when they were come out from Bethany, he hungred. And whan he had spyed a fyg tree a farre of, hauynge leaues, he came to se, yf he myght fynde eny thynge theron. And when he came to it, he founde nothynge

but leaues: for the tyme of fygges was not yet. And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto the fygg tre: neuer man eate frute of the here after whyll the worlde st&abar;deth. And hys discyples hearde it.

C   And they came to Ierusalem. And Iesus went into the temple, ∧ beg&abar;ne to ^note cast out them that solde and bought in the temple, &abar;d ouer threwe the tables of the money chaungers, ∧ the stoles of them that solde doues: and wolde not suffre, that eny man shuld carye a vessel thorow þe; t&ebar;ple. And he taught, sayinge vnto them: ^note is it not wrytten: my house shalbe called the house of prayer vnto all nacyons? But ye haue made it a denne of theues.

And the Scrybes and hye prestes hearde it, and sought howe to destroye hym. ^noteFor they feared hym, because all the people marueled at hys doctryne. And when euen was come, Iesus went out of the cytie. ^noteAnd in the morninge as they passed by, they sawe þe; fygge tree dryed vp by the rotes. And Peter remembred, and sayde vnto him: master, beholde, the fygg tree whych thou cursedst, is wyddred awaye. And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: haue confydens in God. &cross2; Uerely I saye vnto you, that whosoeuer shall saye vnto thys mountayne: remoue, &abar;d cast thy selfe into the see, and shall not doute in hys herte, but shall beleue that those thinges which he sayeth shal come to passe, whatsoeuer he sayeth he shall haue. D   Therfore I saye vnto you, ^note what thinges soeuer ye desyre wh&ebar; ye praye, beleue þt; ye receaue them, and ye shall haue them. And when ye stand ∧ praye, ^note forgeue, yf ye haue ought agaynst eny man, that youre father also whych is in heauen, maye forgeue you youre trespasses.

And they came agayne to Ierusal&ebar;. ^noteAnd as he walked in the temple, ther came to him the hye Prestes, ∧ the Scrybes, ∧ the elders, and saye vnto hym: by what auctorite doest thou these thynges? and who gaue the thys auctorite, to do these thynges? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: I wyll also aske of of you a certayne thynge ∧ answere ye me, ∧ I will tell you by what auctorite I do these th&ibar;ges. The baptime of Iohn, whether was it fr&obar; heauen or of m&ebar;? Answer me. And they thought in th&ebar; selues, sayinge: yf we saye, fr&obar; heau&ebar;: he wyll saye why then did ye not beleue hym? but yf they had sayd, of m&ebar;, they feared the people. For all m&ebar; co&ubar;ted Iohn, þt; he was a verye Prophete. And they answered ∧ sayd vnto Iesu: we c&abar;not tell. And Ies&us; answered, and sayd vnto th&ebar;: nether will I tell you by what auctorite I do these th&ibar;ges. &cross3;
