| Verse 1-8 Is the return of the righteous king of [[Peace]] according to the order of [[Melchisedec]] who was both priest and king.<Br> Jesus had been doing what [[John the Baptist]] had been doing from the beginning. He had been preaching the [[Kingdom of God]] was at hand and His [[righteousness]] while calling the people to [[repent]], which is to say "think differently". 
|-
| According to Jesus if we seek that kingdom and all that it included everything else we need would be provided. The [[masses]] would not believe that part of [[Doctrine of Jesus|His Doctrine]] because they thought their temporal and secular governments and the [[emperor|emperors]], [[Fathers|political Fathers]], and [[rulers]] who promised them a [[Pax Romana]], with their [[Civil Law|law and order]], along with their [[free bread]] and [[social welfare]] could [[Saved|save]] them.
|-
| They did not alway like '''the restriction and burden of [[allegiance]] and [[fealty]]''' but they [[fear|feared]] the ideas of living by [[faith]] and [[hope]] and the did not believe or even think [[charity]] would be sufficient. 
|-
| One of the things that was unique for [[Melchisedec]] was that he was both ''high priest and king''. But his kingship was [[righteous]] and of [[peace]] because his government was a free one supported by the voluntary [[tithing]] of the [[Family|Families]] who chose to follow and support his office.  <Br> Only that type of system dependent upon [[freewill offerings]] alone allowed every natural father to '''retain his possessions and remain free as both ''priest and king'' of his [[family]].'''<Ref name="falsechrist">{{falsechrist}}</Ref>
|-
| '''The Bible tells us''' about the [[Nimrod|Nimrods]], [[Pharaoh|Pharaohs]], [[Caesar|Caesars]] and [[rulers]] who are each the “‭violent ''men'' enticeth ''their'' neighbour, and leadeth him into [[the way]] that is [[Covet|not good]]. He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth [[evil]] to pass.” [[Proverbs 16]]:29-30<Br>These are the [[rulers]] who are legally able to impose [[taxation]] upon a subject [[citizen|citizenry]]. Their systems of [[welfare]] and the [[dainties]] and [[benefits]] are [[snare|snare and a trap]] that make the people [[human resources]] and [[curse children|curse their children]] with a perpetual [[Yoke of bondage|yoke of bondage]].

|  [[John the Baptist]]'s father [[Zacharias]] had been a part of the government of Judea. John had apparently returned from [[Parthia]]. As a child he was endanger from the threat of [[Herod]]'s political ambitions. Upon his return from exile he began to preach that people need to ''think differently'' about the [[tables]] of their [[welfare]].
|-
|  [[Herod]] and the [[Pharisees]] provided [[welfare]] for the [[care]] of the widows and orphans, the needy and infirm through a ''treasury'' filled with the ''sacrifices'' called [[corban]] but it was making the [[word of God]] to none effect because it depended upon ''the [[Fathers]] of earth'' ''who [[exercise authority|exercised authority]] one over the other''.<Ref name="exauth">{{exauth}}</Ref>
|-
|   Jesus and his disciples had been setting up a governmental system of [[health]], [[education]], and [[welfare]] for the [[care]] of the people but unlike the governments of the [[world]] which operates by [[force]], [[fear]], and [[fealty]] through [[oaths]] of [[allegiance]] the [[kingdom of God]], by [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]].
|-
| People were and are more in love with their dogmas and doctrines and their religions that allow them to [[covet]] their neighbors life through the rulers who [[exercise authority]]. “‭10 For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right. ‭11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their [[wicked|wickedness]], saith the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:10-11
|-
|  The means and methods of Christ differed from that of the [[Pharisees]] and [[Rome]] and their [[Corban]]. Christ was the king of [[peace]] and like [[Moses]] <Ref name="kmoses">{{kmoses}}</Ref> he relied upon [[Freewill offering|freewill sacrifice]] and [[peace offering]]s. <Br>
|-
| Many would reject the [[doctrine of Jesus]] and those who followed [[the way]] of [[Christ]] and the [[Logos]] of [[Jesus]] and hold to the [[doctrines of men]] even to the [[Persecution|persecution]] of those who rejected the [[covetous practices]] of the [[world]] of [[Herod]]'s ''[[civil Law]]'', the religiosly dogmatic [[pharisees]], and the self-righteous [[Imperial Cult of Rome]].
|-
|  The Christians were legaly able to separate from the [[public religion]] of the [[world]] because of the [[wisdom]] of the [[word of God]] and the [[Sacrifice]] and [[logos]] of Jesus. 
|-
|  The [[kingdom of God]] is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people <Ref name="Johnwy">{{Johnwy}}</Ref> and operates by [[love]].
|-
| The [[kingdom of God]] is the opposite of any form of [[socialism]] and [[Jesus and socialism|Jesus opposed]] those anti [[capitalist]] systems.
|-
| The [[kingdom of God]] operates according to the [[perfect law of liberty]] [[Censored|without censoring]] [[Heresies|heretics]] or persecuting them but instead loved them enough to share the [[logos]] or [[Word of God]] with all, often a great personal risk.
|-
| '''Questions'''
|-
| Do you live entirely by [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]]?
|-
| Are you [[seek]]ing the [[kingdom of God]] where people live by [[faith]], [[hope]], and [[charity]] or the [[Reward of unrighteousness|wages of unrighteousness]] from men in other governments that [[exercise authority]]?
|-
| Are you emotionally clinging to the [[doctrines of men]]?
|-
| Are you eating from the [[tree of knowledge]] to determine [[doctrines of men]] that you require other people to believe and repeat?

== Nigh to Jerusalem ==

[1] And when they came nigh to [[Jerusalem]], unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his [[disciples]],

=== Find colt ===

[2] And saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt <Ref name="colts">{{colts}}</Ref> tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.'''</span>

[3] <span style="color:red">'''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.'''</span>

[4] And they went their way, and found the colt <Ref name="colts">{{colts}}</Ref> tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

[5] And certain of them that stood there said unto them, '''What do ye, loosing the colt?''' <Ref name="colts">{{colts}}</Ref>

[6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

=== Brought the colt ===

[7] And they brought the colt <Ref name="colts">{{colts}}</Ref> to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. <Ref name="colts">{{colts}}</Ref>

[8] And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

== Hosanna ==

[9] And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, '''Hosanna'''<Ref name="hosan">{{hosan}}</Ref>; '''Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:'''

[10] '''Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna'''<Ref name="hosan">{{hosan}}</Ref> '''in the highest.'''

[11] And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

== No figs ==

[12] And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

[13] And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

[14] And Jesus answered and said unto it, <span style="color:red">'''No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.'''</span> And his disciples heard it.

== Moneychangers and tables==

[15] And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the [[tables]] of the moneychangers<Ref name="Moneychang">
{{Moneychang}}</Ref>, and the seats of them that sold doves;

=== Carry vessels ===

[16] And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

[17] And he taught, saying unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.<Ref name="Robbers">{{Robbers}}</Ref>

=== Plot assassination ===

[18] And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

[19] And when even was come, he went out of the city.

[20] And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

[21] And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

[22] And Jesus answering saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Have faith in God.'''</span>

[23] <span style="color:red">'''For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.'''</span>

[24] <span style="color:red">'''Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.'''</span>

== Stand and pray ==

[25] <span style="color:red">'''And when ye stand praying, [[forgive]], if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may [[forgive]] you your trespasses.'''</span>

[26] <span style="color:red">'''But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.'''</span><Ref name="seekstrive">{{seekstrive}}</Ref>

[27] And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief [[Priest|priests]], and the [[scribe|scribes]], and the [[elders]],

[28] And say unto him, '''By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?'''

[29] And Jesus answered and said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.'''</span>

[30] <span style="color:red">'''The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.'''</span>

[31] And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

[32] But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

[33] And they answered and said unto Jesus, '''We cannot tell'''. And Jesus answering saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'''</span><br>
