Matthew 21:6-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. So the disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them,

7. and brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.

8. And a very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.

9. And the crowds who went ahead of him and the ones who followed were shouting, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

10. And when he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

11. And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee!”

12. And Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all those who were selling and buying in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.

13. And he said to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a cave of robbers!”

14. And the blind and the lame came up to him in the temple courts and he healed them.

15. But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children shouting in the temple courts and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant.
