Mark 11
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and 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 here.
and saith to them, Go to the village over against you; and immediately on entering it ye will find a colt tied, on which no man hath yet sat; loose and bring it.
3 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord hath need of it, and will immediately send it back hither.
4 So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
And they went, and found the colt tied by the door without, on the street; and they loose it.
5 and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
And some of those who were standing there said to them, What are ye about, loosing the colt?
6 The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
And they said to them as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go.
7 Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
And they bring the colt to Jesus, and put their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
8 Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
And many spread their garments on the road; and others boughs, having cut them from the fields.
9 The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest heavens!
11 Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
And he entered Jerusalem, and the temple; and having looked round on all things, the evening being now come, he went out to Bethany, with the twelve.
12 The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
And on the morrow, when they had come from Bethany, he was hungry;
13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
and seeing a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he went to see whether he might find anything on it; and on coming to it he found nothing but leaves; for the season of figs had not come.
14 Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement. (aiōn g165)
And he answering said to it, Let no one eat fruit from thee henceforth for ever. And his disciples heard him. (aiōn g165)
15 When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
And they come to Jerusalem. And he went into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves;
16 And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
and he suffered no one to carry any vessel through the temple.
17 Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
And he taught, and said to them, Is it not written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.”
18 When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him; because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
19 And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.
And when it became late, he went out of the city.
20 As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
And in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig-tree withered from the roots.
21 Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
And Peter remembered and said to him, Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse is withered away.
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
And Jesus answering saith to them, Have faith in God.
23 “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
Truly do I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken up, and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith will come to pass, he shall have it.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Therefore I say to you, All things whatever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye have obtained, and ye shall have them.
25 And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one, that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
27 After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.
And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders;
28 “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
and they said to him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 “I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.
31 They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
But shall we say, From men? They feared the people; for all regarded John as truly a prophet.
33 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
And they answered and said to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
