Matthew (New Testament)
21:1 - And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
21:2 - 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.
21:3 - And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
21:4 - All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
21:5 - 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.
21:6 - And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
21:7 - And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
21:8 - And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
21:9 - 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.
21:10 - And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
21:11 - And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
21:12 - 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,
21:13 - And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
21:14 - And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
21:15 - And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
21:16 - And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
21:17 - And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
21:18 - Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
21:19 - 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.
21:20 - And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21:21 - Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
21:22 - And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
21:23 - And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
21:24 - And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
21:25 - The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
21:26 - But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
21:27 - And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
21:28 - But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
21:29 - He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
21:30 - And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
21:31 - Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
21:32 - For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
21:33 - Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
21:34 - And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
21:35 - And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
21:36 - Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
21:37 - But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
21:38 - But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
21:39 - And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
21:40 - When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
21:41 - They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
21:42 - Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
21:43 - Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
21:44 - And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
21:45 - And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
21:46 - But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

3 Nephi (Book of Mormon)
11:1 - And now it came to pass that there were a great multitude gathered together, of the people of Nephi, round about the temple which was in the land Bountiful; and they were marveling and wondering one with another, and were showing one to another the great and marvelous change which had taken place.
11:2 - And they were also conversing about this Jesus Christ, of whom the sign had been given concerning his death.
11:3 - And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another, they heard a voice as if it came out of heaven; and they cast their eyes round about, for they understood not the voice which they heard; and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a small voice it did pierce them that did hear to the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake; yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn.
11:4 - And it came to pass that again they heard the voice, and they understood it not.
11:5 - And again the third time they did hear the voice, and did open their ears to hear it; and their eyes were towards the sound thereof; and they did look steadfastly towards heaven, from whence the sound came.
11:6 - And behold, the third time they did understand the voice which they heard; and it said unto them:
11:7 - Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name--hear ye him.
11:8 - And it came to pass, as they understood they cast their eyes up again towards heaven; and behold, they saw a Man descending out of heaven; and he was clothed in a white robe; and he came down and stood in the midst of them; and the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon him, and they durst not open their mouths, even one to another, and wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.
11:9 - And it came to pass that he stretched forth his hand and spake unto the people, saying:
11:10 - Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world.
11:11 - And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning.
11:12 - And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words the whole multitude fell to the earth; for they remembered that it had been prophesied among them that Christ should show himself unto them after his ascension into heaven.
11:13 - And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto them saying:
11:14 - Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
11:15 - And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come.
11:16 - And when they had all gone forth and had witnessed for themselves, they did cry out with one accord, saying:
11:17 - Hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him.
11:18 - And it came to pass that he spake unto Nephi (for Nephi was among the multitude) and he commanded him that he should come forth.
11:19 - And Nephi arose and went forth, and bowed himself before the Lord and did kiss his feet.
11:20 - And the Lord commanded him that he should arise. And he arose and stood before him.
11:21 - And the Lord said unto him: I give unto you power that ye shall baptize this people when I am again ascended into heaven.
11:22 - And again the Lord called others, and said unto them likewise; and he gave unto them power to baptize. And he said unto them: On this wise shall ye baptize; and there shall be no disputations among you.
11:23 - Verily I say unto you, that whoso repenteth of his sins through your words, and desireth to be baptized in my name, on this wise shall ye baptize them--Behold, ye shall go down and stand in the water, and in my name shall ye baptize them.
11:24 - And now behold, these are the words which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying:
11:25 - Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
11:26 - And then shall ye immerse them in the water, and come forth again out of the water.
11:27 - And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one.
11:28 - And according as I have commanded you thus shall ye baptize. And there shall be no disputations among you, as there have hitherto been; neither shall there be disputations among you concerning the points of my doctrine, as there have hitherto been.
11:29 - For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.
11:30 - Behold, this is not my doctrine, to stir up the hearts of men with anger, one against another; but this is my doctrine, that such things should be done away.
11:31 - Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will declare unto you my doctrine.
11:32 - And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me; and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me.
11:33 - And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11:34 - And whoso believeth not in me, and is not baptized, shall be damned.
11:35 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and I bear record of it from the Father; and whoso believeth in me believeth in the Father also; and unto him will the Father bear record of me, for he will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
11:36 - And thus will the Father bear record of me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and me; for the Father, and I, and the Holy Ghost are one.
11:37 - And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things.
11:38 - And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.
11:39 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and whoso buildeth upon this buildeth upon my rock, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.
11:40 - And whoso shall declare more or less than this, and establish it for my doctrine, the same cometh of evil, and is not built upon my rock; but he buildeth upon a sandy foundation, and the gates of hell stand open to receive such when the floods come and the winds beat upon them.
11:41 - Therefore, go forth unto this people, and declare the words which I have spoken, unto the ends of the earth.

John (New Testament)
12:1 - Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
12:2 - There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
12:3 - Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
12:4 - Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
12:5 - Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
12:6 - This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
12:7 - Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
12:8 - For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
12:9 - Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
12:10 - But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
12:11 - Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12:12 - On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
12:13 - 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.
12:14 - And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
12:15 - Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
12:16 - 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.
12:17 - The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
12:18 - For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
12:19 - The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
12:20 - And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
12:21 - The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
12:22 - Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
12:23 - And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
12:24 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

12:26 - If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
12:27 - Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
12:28 - Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
12:29 - The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
12:30 - Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
12:31 - Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
12:32 - And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
12:33 - This he said, signifying what death he should die.
12:34 - The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
12:35 - Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
12:36 - While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
12:37 - But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
12:38 - That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
12:39 - Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
12:40 - He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
12:41 - These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
12:42 - Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
12:43 - For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
12:44 - Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
12:45 - And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
12:46 - I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
12:47 - And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
12:48 - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
12:49 - For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
12:50 - And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
