Jesus enters Jerusalem triumphantly on a colt from Bethphage and Bethany, fulfilling prophecy, as crowds acclaim him. He curses a barren fig tree symbolizing fruitless Israel, cleanses the temple by overturning tables of money-changers and sellers—declaring 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations, but you have made it a den of robbers'—prompting chief priests and scribes to plot his death; later, he teaches on faith that moves mountains and the necessity of forgiveness in prayer, then counters religious leaders' challenge to his authority with a question about Ioannes the Baptist.
