1 And when they came nye to Hierusalem vnto Bethphage and Bethanie besydes mout olivete he sent forth two of his disciples 2 and sayde vnto the: Goo youre wayes into the toune that is over agaynst you. And assone as ye be entred into it ye shall fynde a coolte bounde wheron never man sate: loose him and bringe him. 3 And if eny man saye vnto you: why do ye soo? Saye that the Lorde hath neade of him: and streight waye he will sende him hidder. 4 And they wet their waye and foud a coolte tyed by the dore with out in a place where two wayes met and they losed him. 5 And divers of the that stode there sayde vnto the: what do ye loosinge the coolte? 6 And they sayd vnto them even as Iesus had commaunded the. And they let them goo. 7 And they brought the coolte to Iesus and caste their garmetes on him: and he sate vpo him. 8 And many sprede there garmetes in the waye. Other cut doune brauches of the trees and strawed them in the waye. 9 And they that went before and they that folowed cryed sayinge: Hos anna: blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lorde. 10 Blessed be the kingdome that cometh in the name of him that is Lorde of oure father David. Hos anna in the hyest. 11 And the Lorde entred in to Ierusalem and into the temple. And when he had loked roudabout vpon all thinges and now the even tyde was come he went out vnto Bethany with the twelve. 12 And on the morowe when they were come out from Bethany he hungred 13 and spyed a fygge tree a farre of havinge leves and wet to se whether he myght finde eny thinge ther on. But when he came therto he foude no thinge but leves: for the tyme of fygges was not yet. 14 And Iesus answered and sayde to it: never man eate frute of the here after whill the worlde stondith. And his disciples hearde it. 15 And they came to Ierusalem. And Iesus wet into the temple and begane to cast out the sellers and byers in the temple and overthrewe the tables of the money chaungers and the stoles of them that solde doves: 16 and wolde not suffre that eny man caried a vessell thorow the temple. 17 And he taught sayinge vnto them is it not written: my housse shalbe called the housse of prayer vnto all nacions? But ye have made it a deen of theves. 18 And the Scribes and hye prestes hearde that and sought howe to distroye him. For they feared him because all the people marveled at his doctrine. 19 And when even was come he went out of the cite. 20 And in the mornynge as they passed by they sawe the fygge tree dryed vp by the rotes. 21 And Peter remembred and sayde vnto him: master beholde the fygge tree which thou cursedest is widdred awaye. 22 And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Have confides in God. 23 Verely I saye vnto you that whosoever shall saye vnto this mountayne: take awaye thy silfe and cast thy silfe in to the see and shall not waver in his herte but shall beleve that those thinges which he sayeth shall come to passe what soever he sayeth shalbe done to him. 24 Therfore I saye vnto you what soever ye desyre when ye praye beleve that ye shall have it and it shalbe done vnto you. 25 And when ye stod and praye forgeve yf ye have eny thinge agaynste eny man that youre father also which is in heven maye forgeve you youre trespases. 26 Not in this translation 27 And they came agayne to Hierusalem. And as he walked in the temple ther came to him the hye prestes and the Scribes and the elders 28 and sayd vnto him: by what auctorite doest thou these thinges? and who gave the this auctorite to do these thinges? 29 Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: I will also axe of you a certayne thinge: and answere ye me and I wyll tell you by what auctorite I do these thinges. 30 The baptyme of Iohn was it from heven or of men? Answer me. 31 And they thought in them selves sayinge: yf we shall saye from heven: he will saye why then dyd ye not beleve him? 32 but if we shall saye of me: then feare we the people. For all men counted Iohn that he was a verie Prophete. 33 And they answered and sayd vnto Iesu: we cannot tell. And Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: nether wyll I tell you by what auctorite I do these thynges.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But to this is added, that as we read it in the narrative of the other Evangelist who expressly mentions this, "it was not the time for that fruit." For that was the time when the fig-tree shoots forth its tender leaves, which come, we know, before the fruit; and this we prove, because the day of the Lord's Passion …

"And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only." Another evangelist saith, "The time of figs was not yet;" but if it was not time, how doth the other evangelist say, "He came, if haply He might find fruit thereon." Whence it is manifest that this belongs to …

For he who says that Christ only worked miracles, for the miracles' sake, may say too that He was ignorant that it was not the time for fruit, when He sought figs upon the fig-tree. For it was not the time for that fruit, as the Evangelist testifies; and yet being hungry He sought for fruit upon the tree.
