Mark 11
1 When they had almost reached Jerusalem, as far as Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two of his disciples.
When they drew near to Urishlim, to Beth-Pageh and Beth-Naiya, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2 “Go to the village facing you,” he said, “and, as soon as you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has ever ridden; untie it, and bring it.
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.
3 And, if anyone says to you ‘Why are you doing that?’, say ‘The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
4 The two disciples went, and, finding a foal tethered outside a door in the street, they untied it.
They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 Some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the foal?”
Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
6 And the two disciples answered as Jesus had told them; and they allowed them to go.
They said to them just as Yeshua had said, and they let them go.
7 Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself on it.
They brought the young donkey to Yeshua, and threw their garments on it, and Yeshua sat on it.
8 Many of the people spread their cloaks on the road, while some strewed boughs which they had cut from the fields;
Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
9 and those who led the way, as well as those who followed, kept shouting, “God save him! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!
Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Ushanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! God save him from on high!”
Blessed is the kingdom of our father Dawid. Ushanna in the highest."
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the Temple Courts; and, after looking around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
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.
12 The next day, after they had left Bethany, Jesus became hungry;
The next day, when they had come out from Beth-Naiya, he was hungry.
13 and, noticing a fig tree at a distance in leaf, he went to it to see if by any chance he could find something on it; but, on coming up to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
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.
14 So, addressing the tree, he exclaimed, “May no one ever again eat of your fruit!” And his disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Yeshua told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem. Jesus went into 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 the pigeon-dealers,
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.
16 and would not allow anyone to carry anything across the Temple Courts.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 Then he began to teach. “Does not scripture say,” he asked, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.”
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."
18 Now the chief priests and the teachers of the Law heard this and began to look for some way of putting Jesus to death; for they were afraid of him, since all the people were greatly impressed by his teaching.
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.
19 As soon as evening fell, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.
When evening came, they went out of the city.
20 As they passed by early in the morning, they noticed that the fig tree was withered up from the roots.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Then Peter recalled what had occurred. “Look, Rabbi,” he exclaimed, “the fig tree which you doomed is withered up!”
Kipha, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
22 “Have faith in God!” replied Jesus.
Yeshua answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 “I tell you that if anyone should say to this hill ‘Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!’, without ever a doubt in his mind, but in the faith that what he says will be done, he would find that it would be.
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.
24 And therefore I say to you ‘Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be.’
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 “And, whenever you stand up to pray, forgive any grievance that you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven also may forgive you your offenses.”
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.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
27 They came to Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking about in the Temple Courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders came up to him.
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,
28 “What authority have you to do these things?” they said. “Who gave you the authority to do them?”
and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 “I will put one question to you,” said Jesus. “Answer me that, and then I will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
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.
30 It is about John’s baptism. Was it of divine or human origin? Answer me that.”
The baptism of Yukhanan—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
31 They began arguing together. “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why then didn’t you believe him?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
32 Yet can we say ‘human’?” They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly a prophet.
If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held Yukhanan to really be a prophet.
33 So their answer to Jesus was – “We do not know.” “Then I,” replied Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
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."
