The two disciples go with instruc-

the assurance that they will be suc-

All that was required was to say that
“The Master hath need of him.”

As Jesus had anticipated, they were
asked the precise question He pre-
dicted.
6. And they said unto them even
as Jesus had commanded, and they
let him go. The disciples said what
Jesus told them to say, and there was
no hesitation.
7. And they brought the colt to
Jesus, and cast their garments on
him, and He sat upon him.
The disciples make such prepara-
tions as their possession permitted,
for the lowly Savour to ride from
Bethany to Jerusalem.
8. And many spread their gar-
ments in the way, and others cut down
branches off the trees, and strewed
them in the way.
It was the custom that where ever
Jesus went the crowds were gathered,
this time they are not moved by an
unseen force to do these things here
spoken of.
9. And they went before and they
that followed cried saying, Hosanna,
blessed is he that cometh in the name
of the Lord.
They acclaim Him this welcome be-
cause He came in the name of the
Lord: as a delegate, or ambassador
from God and Heaven.
10. Blessed be the kingdom of our
father David, that cometh in the name
of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
These people who were Jews loved
David and looked with admiration on
his kingdom, and looked forward with
hope that Jesus would re-establish
the kingdom of David.

and Jesus went into the temple, and
began to cast them out that sold in
the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the money changers, and the seats
of them that sold doves.

We see Jesus in the role of a re-

16. And would not suffer that any
man should carry any vessel through
the temple.
Those who had supplies for booths
or stands felt free to pass through the
temple with whatsoever they carried.
Jesus forbade this polution of God’s
House.
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 inade it a
den of thieves.
They were referred to as thieves
because thy charged toll for changing
money, and made extra great profits
from other things sold, by taking the
advantage of the worshippers who
were influenced that those things
brought in the temple were best suited
for the sacrifice, thus it was robbery
and stealing.
18. And the scribes and chief priests
heard it, and sought how they might
destroy Him; for they feared Him
for all the people was astonished at
His doctrine.
Whenever the news of this happen-
ing reached the ears of the scribes
and priests it was more than they
were willing to bear, therefore they
planned and laid plans to put Him to
death. They feared Him because the
people were attracted to Him more
than they were to them. They could
not brook a rival.
