AND SAITH UNTO THEM, GO YOUR WAY INTO THE VILLAGE OVER AGAINST YOU; AND AS SOON AS YE BE ENTERED INTO IT, YE SHALL FIND A COLT TIED WHEREON NEVER MAN SAT; LOOSE HIM, AND BRING HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IF ANY MAN SAY UNTO YOU, WHY DO YE THIS? SAY YE THAT THE LORD HATH NEED OF HIM; AND STRAIGHTWAY HE WILL SEND HIM HITHER.

AND SEEING A FIG-TREE AFAR OFF HAVING LEAVES, HE CAME, IF HAPLY HE MIGHT FIND ANYTHING THEREON; AND WHEN HE CAME TO IT, HE FOUND NOTHING BUT LEAVES; FOR THE TIME OF FIGS WAS NOT YET.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO IT, NO MAN EAT FRUIT OF THEE HEREAFTER FOREVER. AND HIS DISCIPLES HEARD IT.

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.... [ Continue Reading ]
