< Mark 11 >

1 When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead
And when they came near to Jerusalem, even to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, He sendeth two of his disciples,
2 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.
and saith to them, Go into the village over against you, and as soon as ye enter into it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man hath yet sat; loose him, and bring him to me.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’ Then he will immediately send it here.”
And if any one say to you, Why do ye so? tell him, that the Lord hath need of it, and he will immediately send it hither.
4 So they went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a door, and they untied it.
And they went and found the colt tied at a door abroad, where two ways met, and they untied it.
5 But some of the people who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
And some of the people that stood there, said to them, What do ye mean by untying the colt?
6 They answered them just as Jesus had instructed, and the people let them go.
And they answered them as Jesus had ordered, and they permitted them.
7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on it, and he sat on it.
So they brought the colt to Jesus, and laid their garments on it, and He sat upon it.
8 Many people spread their garments on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and also spread them on the road.
And many spread their clothes in the way; and others cut off branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
9 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!
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna, blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that is coming in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.
11 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.
And Jesus went into Jerusalem, and into the temple; and when He had looked round upon every thing, it being now late in the day, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 On the next day, as they went out from Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
And on the morrow, as they came from Bethany, He was hungry:
13 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.
and seeing a fig-tree at a distance, with leaves, He went to see if He might find any thing upon it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves; (for the time of gathering figs was not yet come: ) And Jesus spake and said unto it,
14 In response Jesus said to the fig tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from yoʋ again!” And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
Let no one ever eat fruit of thee hereafter. And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 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,
Then they came to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to turn out those that sold and bought in the court of the temple, and threw down the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves:
16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple courts.
and suffered not any one to carry a burthen through the courts of the temple.
17 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.”
And He taught them, saying, Is it not written, my house shall be called an house of prayer for all nations? But ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 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.
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how to destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were struck with his doctrine.
19 And when evening came, he went out of the city.
And when it was evening, He went out of the city.
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw that the fig tree had withered from its roots.
And in the morning, as they were passing by it, they saw the fig-tree withered from the roots.
21 Then Peter remembered what had happened and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, behold, the fig tree that yoʋ cursed has withered!”
And Peter remembring the tree, saith unto Him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst, is withered.
22 In response Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God.
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God: for verily I tell you,
23 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.
that whosoever shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith shall be done, he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you are receiving it, and it will be yours.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 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 when ye pray, forgive, if ye have any thing against any one, that your heavenly Father may also forgive you your trespasses:
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
but if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive you your trespasses.
27 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
And they come again to Jerusalem, and as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders come to Him,
28 and said to him, “By what authority are yoʋ doing these things? And who gave yoʋ this authority to do them?”
and ask Him, By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority, to do thus?
29 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:
But Jesus said to them, I also will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Did John's authority to baptize come from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.
31 So they considered it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, from heaven; He will say, why then did ye not believe him?
32 But shall we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the people, for everyone thought that John was truly a prophet.
but if we should say, from men --- they feared the people: (for they they all thought that John was a prophet indeed: )
33 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.”
and they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus replied and said unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
