< Mark 11 >

1 As they approached Jerusalem, near to Bethphage and Bethany, beside the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead.
AND when they drew nigh to Urishlem, against Bethphage and Beth-ania, at the mount of Olives, he sent two from his disciples,
2 He told them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter, you'll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden before. Untie it and bring it here.
and said to them, Go to that village which is over against you; and forthwith as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, which no man hath ridden; loose, bring him.
3 If anyone asks you what you are doing, tell them, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back soon.’”
And if any man shall say to you, Why do you this? say to him, Because for our Lord it is requested, and at once he will send him hither.
4 So they set off, and found a colt tied to a door, out on the street, and they untied it.
And they went, and found the colt tied at the gate without in the street. And as they were loosing,
5 Some of the people standing around asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt”?
some of those who were standing said to them, What are you doing that you loosen the colt?
6 The disciples replied just as Jesus told them to, and the people let them go.
But they said to them as Jeshu had instructed them; and they permitted them.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus, put their cloaks on it, and Jesus sat on it.
And they brought the colt to Jeshu, and threw upon him their garments; and Jeshu rode upon him.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others laid down leafy branches that they'd cut in the fields.
But many spread their vestments in the way, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them in the way;
9 Those leading in the front and those that were following were all shouting, “Hosanna! Bless the one coming in the name of the Lord.
and these who went before him, and these who came after him, cried, saying, Save now!
10 Bless the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!”
and blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David: Save now, in the heights!
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went in to the Temple. He looked around him, observing everything, and then, since it was getting late, he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples.
And Jeshu entered Urishlem, into the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when it was the time of the evening, he went forth to Beth-ania with the twelve.
12 The next day, as they left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
And the day after, when he went from Beth-ania, he hungered.
13 From some distance away he saw a fig tree with leaves, so he went over to it to see if it had any fruit. But when he got there, he found it had only leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
And he saw a certain fig-tree from afar which had leaves on it, and he came to it, if he might find upon it somewhat; but when he came, he found on it only the leaves, for the time was not for figs (to have been ingathered).
14 He said to the tree, “May no one eat fruit from you ever again.” His disciples heard his words. (aiōn g165)
And he said to it, Henceforth and for ever man from thee fruit shall not eat. And his disciples heard. (aiōn g165)
15 They arrived back in Jerusalem, and Jesus went into the Temple. He started driving out the people who were buying and selling in the Temple. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the people selling doves.
And they came to Urishlem. And Jeshu went into the temple of Aloha, and began to cast forth those who sold and bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them who sold doves:
16 He stopped anyone carrying things through the Temple.
and he would not suffer any man to carry goods through the temple.
17 He explained to them, “Doesn't Scripture say, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have turned it into a den of thieves!”
And he taught, and said to them, Is it not written, That my house the house of prayer shall be called of all nations? but you have made it a den of thieves.
18 The chief priests and religious teachers heard what had happened, and tried to find a way to kill Jesus. But they were afraid of him, for everyone was so impressed by his teaching.
And the chief priests and Sophree heard it, and inquired how they might destroy him; for they feared from him, because all the people admired his doctrine.
19 When evening came Jesus and his disciples left the city.
AND when it was evening, they went without from the city.
20 The following morning as they returned, they saw the fig tree, withered from the roots up.
And in the morning, while they passed by, they saw that fig-tree that it was dry from its root.
21 Peter remembered what Jesus had done, and said to him, “Rabbi, look, the fig tree that you cursed has withered.”
And Shemun remembered and said to him, Rabi, behold, that fig-tree which thou didst curse hath dried.
22 “Trust in God,” Jesus replied.
And Jeshu answered and said to them, Let there be in you the faith of Aloha.
23 “Believe me when I say to you that if you told this mountain, ‘Get out of here and be thrown into the sea,’ and you don't doubt in your heart, but are convinced about what you're asking, then it will happen!
Amen I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and fall into the sea, and shall not be divided in his heart, but shall believe that that thing which he speaketh is, he shall have the thing that he saith.
24 I'm telling you that whatever you pray for, whatever you ask, trust that you've received it, and it's yours.
On this account I tell you, that every thing whatever you supplicate and ask, believe that you receive, and it shall be unto you.
25 But when you're praying, if you have something against someone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your sins.”
And when you stand to pray, forgive whatever you have against any man; and your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.
But if you do not forgive, your Father who is in heaven will also not forgive you your transgressions.
27 They returned to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, religious teachers, and the leaders approached him.
And they came again to Urishlem: and as he walked in the temple, the chief priests and the Sophree and the elders came to him,
28 “By what authority are you doing all this?” they demanded. “Who gave you the right?”
and said to him, By what authority these things doest thou? and who gave thee the authority to do them?
29 “Let me ask you a question,” Jesus told them. “You answer me, and I'll tell you by whose authority I do these things.
But Jeshu said to them, I also will ask you one word, that you may tell me, and I tell you by what authority I these things do.
30 John's baptism—did that come from heaven, or from people?”
The baptism of Juchanon, from whence was it? from heaven, or from the sons of man? Tell me.
31 They discussed it among themselves. They said, “If we say it's from heaven, he'll reply, ‘So why didn't you believe him?’
And they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we say to him, that (it was) from heaven, he saith to us, And why did you not believe him?
32 But if we say, it's of human origin, well…” They were afraid of the crowd, because everyone believed that John was a true prophet.
And if we should say, From the sons of man, there is fear from the people; for all have held Juchanon that he was truly a prophet.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” “Then I'm not telling you by whose authority I do these things,” replied Jesus.
And they answered, saying to Jeshu, We know not. He saith to them, I also do not tell you by what authority I these things do.
