The Christian Standard Bible aims to draw readers into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. By translating Scripture into the clearest possible modern English, the CSB allows readers to experience God’s Word at its fullest. Developed by 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible faithfully and accurately captures the Bible’s original meaning without compromising readability. The CSB was created using Optimal Equivalence, a translation philosophy that balances linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English. In the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for- word rendering is clearly understandable, a literal translation is used. When a word- for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, a more dynamic translation is used. This process assures that both the words and thoughts contained in the original text are conveyed as accurately as possible for today’s readers. The CSB provides a highly accurate text for sermon preparation and serious study, translated from the biblical languages by scholars who love God’s Word. Yet it doesn’t compromise readability and clarity for those who may be less familiar with the traditional (and sometimes difficult) vocabulary retained in some translations. Research shows the CSB is both highly literal to the original languages and highly readable, achieving an optimal balance of the two. Pastors and laypeople can read and share the Christian Standard Bible with confidence, knowing truth of God’s Word will be communicated effectively. For a more information, visit CSBible.com

When  they approached Jerusalem,  at Bethphage and Bethany  near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the village ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this? ’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’ ”
So they went and found a colt outside in the street, tied by a door. They untied it, and some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt? ” They answered them just as Jesus had said; so they let them go.
They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and he sat on it. Many people spread their clothes on the road,  and others spread leafy branches cut from the fields.  Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted:
Hosanna!
Blessed is he who comes
in the name   of the Lord!   ,
Blessed is the coming kingdom 
of our father David! 
Hosanna   in the highest heaven!
He went into Jerusalem  and into the temple.  After looking around at everything, since it was already late, he went out to Bethany  with the Twelve.

The  next day when they went out from Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig  tree with leaves, he went to find out if there was anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season for figs. He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit   from you again! ”   And his disciples  heard it.

They came to Jerusalem,  and he went into the temple  and began to throw out those buying and selling. He overturned the tables of the money changers  and the chairs of those selling doves, and would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple. He was teaching them: “Is it not written,   My house   will be called a house of prayer   for all nations ?   But you have made it a den of thieves ! ”   ,
The chief priests and the scribes  heard it and started looking for a way to kill him. For they were afraid  of him, because the whole crowd was astonished by his teaching.
Whenever evening came, they would go out of the city.

Early  in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. Then Peter  remembered and said to him, “Rabbi,  look! The fig tree that you cursed  has withered.”
Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God.   Truly I tell you,   if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt   in his heart, but believes   that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.   Therefore I tell you, everything you pray   and ask for   — believe that you have received   , it and it will be yours. And whenever you stand   praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive   him, so that your Father   in heaven   will also forgive   you your wrongdoing.”  

They  came again to Jerusalem.  As he was walking in the temple,  the chief priests, the scribes,  and the elders  came and asked him, “By what authority  are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do these things? ”
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question;   then answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. Was John’s baptism   from heaven or of human origin? Answer me.”
They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe  him? ’ But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ ” — they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was truly a prophet.  So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
