Mark 11
1 When they drew near to Urishlim, to Beth-Pageh and Beth-Naiya, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
As they approached Jerusalem, being come as far as Bethphage, and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives; he sent two of his disciples,
2 and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.
and said to them, Go into the village opposite you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose him, and bring him.
3 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
And if any person ask you, Wherefore do you this? say, The Master needs him, and he will instantly send him hither.
4 They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
Accordingly they went, and finding a colt tied before a door, where two ways met, they loosed him.
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
Some of the people present said to them, Wherefore do you loose the colt?
6 They said to them just as Yeshua had said, and they let them go.
They having answered as Jesus had commanded them, were allowed to take him.
7 They brought the young donkey to Yeshua, and threw their garments on it, and Yeshua sat on it.
Accordingly they brought the colt to Jesus, on which having laid their mantles, he sat on him.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
And many spread their mantles in the way; others cut down sprays from the trees, and strowed them in the way.
9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Ushanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
And they who went before, and they who followed shouted, saying, Hosanna! blessed be He that comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father Dawid. Ushanna in the highest."
Happy be the approaching Reign of our Father David!
11 And he entered into the temple in Urishlim. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Beth-Naiya with the twelve.
In this manner Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple; where, after surveying everything around, it being late, he departed with the twelve to Bethany.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Beth-Naiya, he was hungry.
The next day, when he left Bethany, he was hungry;
13 Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
and observing a fig tree at a distance, full of leaves, went to look for fruit on it, for the fig harvest was not yet. And being come, he found nothing but leaves.
14 Yeshua told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
Then he said to it, Henceforth let no man ever eat fruit off you. And his disciples heard him. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Urishlim, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
Being returned to Jerusalem, he went into the temple, and drove out them who sold, and them who bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers, and the stalls of them who sold doves;
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
and would suffer no person to carry vessels through the temple.
17 He taught, saying to them, "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."
He also taught them, saying, Is it not written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations?" but you have made it a den of robbers.
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
And the scribes and the chief priests hearing this, sought means to destroy him; for they dreaded him, because all the multitude admired his doctrine.
19 When evening came, they went out of the city.
And in the evening he went out of the city.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
Next morning as they returned, they saw that the fig tree was dried up from the root.
21 Kipha, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
Peter recollecting, said to him, Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which you devoted, already withered.
22 Yeshua answered them, "Have faith in God.
Jesus answered, Have faith in God.
23 Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
For indeed, I say to you, Whoever shall say to this mountain, Be lifted, and thrown into the sea, and shall not in the least doubt, but shall believe that what he says shall happen; whatever he shall command, shall be done for him;
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
for which reason I assure you, that what things soever you pray for, if you believe that you shall obtain them, they shall be yours.
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your wrongdoing.
And when you pray, forgive, if you have matter of complaint against any; that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father, who is in heaven, forgive your trespasses.
27 They came again to Urishlim, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
Again, they arrived at Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, scribes, and the elders, came,
28 and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
and said to him, By what authority do you these things? and who empowered you to do them?
29 Yeshua said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jesus answering, said to them, I also have a question to ask; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of Yukhanan—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
Was the title which John had to immerse, from heaven, or from men? Answer me.
31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Then they argued thus among themselves; If we say, From heaven; he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him?
32 If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held Yukhanan to really be a prophet.
But if we say, From men; we are in danger from the people, who are all convinced that John was a prophet.
33 They answered and said to Yeshua, "We do not know." Yeshua said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
They therefore answering, said to Jesus, We can not tell. Jesus replied, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
