< 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 are drawing near unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, towards the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth 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 saith unto them—Go your way into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, as ye are entering it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which, no, man, yet, hath sat: 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 anyone unto you should say—Why are ye doing this? say—The Lord, of him hath need; and, straightway, he sendeth him off again here.
4 They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
And they departed, and found a colt, tied unto a door outside, on the street, —and they are loosing him.
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
And, certain of them that were there standing, were saying unto them—What are ye doing, loosing the colt?
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
and they said unto them as, Jesus, said, —and they let them go.
7 They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and throw upon him their mantles, —and he took his seat upon him.
8 Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
And, many, spread out, their mantles, along the way, and, others, young branches, —cutting them out of the fields.
9 Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
And, they who were going before, and they who were following after, were crying aloud—Hosanna! Blessed, is he that is coming 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 entered into Jerusalem, into the temple, and, looking round on all things, late already being the hour, he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.
12 The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
And, on the morrow, when they came forth from Bethany, he hungered;
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 from afar, having leaves, he came… if, therefore, he should find aught in it, and, coming up to it, nothing, found he, save, leaves; for it was not, the season, of figs.
14 Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn )
And, answering, he said unto it—No more, unto times age-abiding, let anyone of thee, eat fruit. And his disciples were listening. (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, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling and them who were buying in the temple, and, the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them who were selling doves, he overthrew, —
16 He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
and was not suffering that anyone 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 was teaching, and saying—Is it not written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the nations? but, ye, 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 High-priests and the Scribes, heard, it, and began seeking how they might, destroy, him, —for they were fearing him; for, all the multitude, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.
19 When evening came, they went out of the city.
And, as soon as it became late, they were going forth outside the city.
20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
And, passing by early, they saw the fig-tree, withered from its roots;
21 Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
and, put in mind, Peter saith unto him—Rabbi! see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse, is withered.
22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
And, answering, Jesus saith unto them—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.
Verily, I say unto you—Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be lifted up, and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that, what he speaketh, cometh to pass, it shall be his.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
For this cause, I say unto you—All things, whatsoever ye are praying for and asking, believe that ye have received, and 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 ye stand praying, forgive, if aught ye have against any, —that, your Father also, who is in the heavens, may forgive you your offences.
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,
And they come again into Jerusalem. And, as he is walking in the temple, the High-priests and the Scribes and the Elders come unto 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 were saying unto him—By what authority, these things, art thou doing? And who to thee hath given this authority that, these things, thou shouldst be doing?
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.
But, Jesus, said unto them—I will question you, as to one matter, and answer me, —and I will tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing:
30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
The immersion by John, Of heaven, was it, or, of 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 were deliberating among themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore [then] did ye not believe him?
32 If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.
But, should we say, Of men…, they were in fear of the multitude, for, one and all, were holding John, in very deed, 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, making answer unto Jesus, they say—We know not; and Jesus saith unto them—Neither do, I, tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
