Matthew 20:17-21:11

  1. And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
  2. Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
  3. And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
  4. Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
  5. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
  6. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
  7. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
  8. And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
  9. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
  10. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
  11. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
  12. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
  13. And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
  14. And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
  15. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
  16. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
  17. They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
  18. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
  1. And when they drew nigh unto 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 shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
  3. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath 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 the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
  6. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
  7. And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
  8. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
  9. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh 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 said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
