8 Many people spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches in the fields and spread the branches on the road.
9 Some of the people were walking ahead of Jesus. Others were following him. All of them were shouting,“Praise God!God bless the One who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:26
10 God bless the kingdom of our father David!That kingdom is coming!Praise to God in heaven!”
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple. When he had looked at everything, and since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the 12 apostles.
12 The next day as Jesus was leaving Bethany, he was hungry.
13 He saw a fig tree in leaf. So he went to the tree to see if it had any figs on it. But he found no figs, only leaves. It was not the right season for figs to grow.
14 So Jesus said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” Jesus’ followers heard him say this.
