< Mark 11 >
1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
And when they draw nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, He sends away 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 says to them, Go into the village over against you: and immediately entering into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one of men has ever sat; loosing him, lead him away.
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 one may say to you, Why do you this? say to him, that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he sends him hither.
4 They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
Then they departed, and found the colt tied at the door without at the crossing of the road; and they are loosing him.
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
And certain ones of those standing there said to them, What are you doing, loosing the colt?
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
And they said to them as Jesus commanded: and they permitted them.
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
And they lead the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and 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 strewed their garments in the road; and others were cutting down the branches of the trees, (and strewing them in the road),
9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
And those going before, and those following after, continued to cry out, Hosanna: blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."
blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest!
11 And he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
And He came into Jerusalem, into the temple; and looking round upon all things, the hour being already late, He went out into Bethany along with the twelve.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
And on the morrow, they going out from 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 seeing a fig-tree at a distance, having leaves, He came, if perchance He shall find something on it: and having come to it, He found nothing except leaves; for it was not the time of the figs.
14 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn )
And responding He said to it, Let no one ever eat fruit from thee. And His disciples heard Him. (aiōn )
15 They came to Jerusalem, 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.
And they come into Jerusalem: and He having come into the temple, began to cast out the buyers and sellers in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money-exchangers, and the seats of those selling doves;
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
and He did not suffer that any one should carry a vessel 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."
And He was teaching, saying to them, Is it not written, That my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the Gentiles? But you have made it a den of thieves.
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 high priests heard Him, seeking how they might destroy Him: for they feared Him, because all the multitude were delighted with His teaching.
19 When evening came, they went out of the city.
And when it was evening, He departed out of the city.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
And going along in the morning, they saw the fig-tree utterly withered from the roots.
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
And Peter remembering says to Him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou didst execrate is withered away.
22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
And Jesus responding says to them, Have God's faith.
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.
Truly I say unto you, That whosoever may say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and may not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says does take place; it shall be unto him.
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 unto you, All things whatsoever you pray for and ask, believe that you just now received them, and they shall be unto you.
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 stand praying, forgive, if you have aught against any one; in order that your Father who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
27 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
They come again into Jerusalem. And He walking round in the temple, the high priests, and scribes, and elders come to Him;
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 they said to Him, By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority that you may do them?
29 Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one word, and you respond to me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:
30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
Was the baptism of John 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?'
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, It is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on him?
32 If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.
But if we may say, From men; they feared the people: for all held John that he was a prophet.
33 They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
And responding they say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
