Mark 11
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
et cum adpropinquarent Hierosolymae et Bethaniae ad montem Olivarum mittit duos ex discipulis suis
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
et ait illis ite in castellum quod est contra vos et statim introeuntes illuc invenietis pullum ligatum super quem nemo adhuc hominum sedit solvite illum et adducite
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
et si quis vobis dixerit quid facitis dicite quia Domino necessarius est et continuo illum dimittet huc
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
et abeuntes invenerunt pullum ligatum ante ianuam foris in bivio et solvunt eum
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
et quidam de illic stantibus dicebant illis quid facitis solventes pullum
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
qui dixerunt eis sicut praeceperat illis Iesus et dimiserunt eis
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
et duxerunt pullum ad Iesum et inponunt illi vestimenta sua et sedit super eo
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
multi autem vestimenta sua straverunt in via alii autem frondes caedebant de arboribus et sternebant in via
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
et qui praeibant et qui sequebantur clamabant dicentes osanna benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
benedictum quod venit regnum patris nostri David osanna in excelsis
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
et introivit Hierosolyma in templum et circumspectis omnibus cum iam vespera esset hora exivit in Bethania cum duodecim
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
et alia die cum exirent a Bethania esuriit
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
cumque vidisset a longe ficum habentem folia venit si quid forte inveniret in ea et cum venisset ad eam nihil invenit praeter folia non enim erat tempus ficorum
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
et respondens dixit ei iam non amplius in aeternum quisquam fructum ex te manducet et audiebant discipuli eius (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
et veniunt Hierosolymam et cum introisset templum coepit eicere vendentes et ementes in templo et mensas nummulariorum et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
et non sinebat ut quisquam vas transferret per templum
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
et docebat dicens eis non scriptum est quia domus mea domus orationis vocabitur omnibus gentibus vos autem fecistis eam speluncam latronum
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
quo audito principes sacerdotum et scribae quaerebant quomodo eum perderent timebant enim eum quoniam universa turba admirabatur super doctrina eius
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
et cum vespera facta esset egrediebatur de civitate
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
et cum mane transirent viderunt ficum aridam factam a radicibus
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
et recordatus Petrus dicit ei rabbi ecce ficus cui maledixisti aruit
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
et respondens Iesus ait illis habete fidem Dei
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
amen dico vobis quicumque dixerit huic monti tollere et mittere in mare et non haesitaverit in corde suo sed crediderit quia quodcumque dixerit fiat fiet ei
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
propterea dico vobis omnia quaecumque orantes petitis credite quia accipietis et veniet vobis
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
et cum stabitis ad orandum dimittite si quid habetis adversus aliquem ut et Pater vester qui in caelis est dimittat vobis peccata vestra
quod si vos non dimiseritis nec Pater vester qui in caelis est dimittet vobis peccata vestra
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
et veniunt rursus Hierosolymam et cum ambularet in templo accedunt ad eum summi sacerdotes et scribae et seniores
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
et dicunt illi in qua potestate haec facis et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem ut ista facias
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
Iesus autem respondens ait illis interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum et respondete mihi et dicam vobis in qua potestate haec faciam
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
baptismum Iohannis de caelo erat an ex hominibus respondete mihi
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
at illi cogitabant secum dicentes si dixerimus de caelo dicet quare ergo non credidistis ei
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
sed dicemus ex hominibus timebant populum omnes enim habebant Iohannem quia vere propheta esset
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
et respondentes dicunt Iesu nescimus respondens Iesus ait illis neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate haec faciam
