Mark 11
1 And as they approached Jerusalem, near by Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
2 and said to them: Go ye to the village that is over against us, and as soon as ye enter it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no person hath ridden: loose him, and bring him hither.
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 sat. Untie him and bring him.
3 And, if any one say to you, Why do ye this? Say ye to him: Because our Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will send him hither.
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
4 And they went, and they found the colt tied, by the door, without in the street. And as they were loosing him,
They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 some of those standing there, said to them: What do ye, untying the colt?
Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
6 And they said to them, as Jesus had commanded them; and they permitted them.
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments upon him, and set Jesus upon him.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8 And many spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
9 And those preceding him, and those following him shouted and said: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 And blessed is the advancing kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest heavens.
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
11 And Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when evening arrived, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Jesus 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.
12 And the following day, as he left Bethany, he was hungry:
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 and he saw a fig-tree at a distance, on which were leaves, and he came to it, if he could find somewhat on it. And when he had come, he found on it only leaves; for the time of figs had not arrived.
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 And he said to it: Henceforth and for ever, let no man eat fruit from thee: and the disciples heard it. And they came to Jerusalem. (aiōn g165)
Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 And Jesus entered the temple of God: and he began to cast out those who bought and sold in the temple; and he overturned the counters of the money-brokers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 And he suffered no one to carry goods through the temple.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 And he taught them, and said: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations? But ye have made it a den of robbers.
He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers!”
18 And the chief priests and the Scribes heard him, and they sought how they might destroy him; for they were afraid of him, because all the people admired his doctrine.
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
19 And when it was evening, they went out from the city.
When evening came, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up, as it were, from its root.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 And Simon remembered, and said to him: Rabbi; behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst, is dried up.
Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
22 And Jesus replied, and said to them: Have faith in God.
Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
23 Verily I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and fall into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said will occur, to him will be the thing he spoke.
For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
24 Therefore I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall pray and ask for, believe that it will be, and it will be to you.
Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
25 And when ye stand up to pray, forgive what ye have against any one; that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive your offences.
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
26 For if ye forgive not, your Father also who is in heaven will not forgive you your offences.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and Scribes and Elders came to him,
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,
28 and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee the authority to do these things?
and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”
29 And Jesus said to them: I also will ask you one thing, that ye may tell me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Tell me.
The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”
31 And they reasoned with themselves, and said: If we should say to him, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 But if we should say, From men; there is fear from the people; for they have all held John to be truly a prophet.
If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
33 And they answered, and said to Jesus: We do not know. He said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
