Mark 11
1 And, when they are drawing near unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, towards the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, —
When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead
2 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.
and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has sat. Untie it and bring it here.
3 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.
If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’ Then he will immediately send it here.”
4 And they departed, and found a colt, tied unto a door outside, on the street, —and they are loosing him.
So they went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a door, and they untied it.
5 And, certain of them that were there standing, were saying unto them—What are ye doing, loosing the colt?
But some of the people who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
6 and they said unto them as, Jesus, said, —and they let them go.
They answered them just as Jesus had instructed, and the people let them go.
7 And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and throw upon him their mantles, —and he took his seat upon him.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on it, and he sat on it.
8 And, many, spread out, their mantles, along the way, and, others, young branches, —cutting them out of the fields.
Many people spread their garments on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and also spread them on the road.
9 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!
Those who went ahead of him and those who followed were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Blessed, is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
11 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.
Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. When he had looked around at everything, he went out to Bethany with the twelve, since the hour was already late.
12 And, on the morrow, when they came forth from Bethany, he hungered;
On the next day, as they went out from Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 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.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
14 And, answering, he said unto it—No more, unto times age-abiding, let anyone of thee, eat fruit. And his disciples were listening. (aiōn g165)
In response Jesus said to the fig tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from yoʋ again!” And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 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, —
Then they came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves,
16 and was not suffering that anyone should carry a vessel through the temple;
and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple courts.
17 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.
Then he began to teach the people, 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 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.
When the scribes and the chief priests heard this, they began looking for a way to destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because the entire crowd was astonished at his teaching.
19 And, as soon as it became late, they were going forth outside the city.
And when evening came, he went out of the city.
20 And, passing by early, they saw the fig-tree, withered from its roots;
In the morning, as they went along, they saw that the fig tree had withered from its roots.
21 and, put in mind, Peter saith unto him—Rabbi! see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse, is withered.
Then Peter remembered what had happened and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, behold, the fig tree that yoʋ cursed has withered!”
22 And, answering, Jesus saith unto them—Have faith in God.
In response Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God.
23 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.
For truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, whatever he says will be granted to him.
24 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.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you are receiving it, and it will be yours.
25 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.
And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
27 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,
Again they came to Jerusalem, and as Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came up to him
28 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?
and said to him, “By what authority are yoʋ doing these things? And who gave yoʋ this authority to do them?”
29 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:
Jesus answered them, “I will also ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things:
30 The immersion by John, Of heaven, was it, or, of men? Answer me!
Did John's authority to baptize come from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
31 And they were deliberating among themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore [then] did ye not believe him?
So they considered it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 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.
But shall we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the people, for everyone thought that John was truly a prophet.
33 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.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” In response Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
