(FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.) Bethany. Jerusalem.

LUKE.

CH. XIX. 29-44.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

CH. XII. 12-19.

13 Took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna; Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.a

14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,

15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.

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

17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.

19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

:

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another: because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

18 Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19 And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig-tree withered away.

12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called, of all nations, the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

22 And Jesus answering, saith unto them, Have faith in God.

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall 23 For verily I say unto you, That not only do this which is done to the whosoever shall say unto this mounfig-tree, but also, if ye shall say unto tain, Be thou removed, and be thou

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

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

32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
