Mark 11
1 Now as they came to Jerusalem, they were close to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, and Jesus sent out two of his disciples
And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends forth two of his disciples,
2 and said to them, “Go into the village opposite us. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
And says to them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as you be entered into it, you shall find a colt tied, where on never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you should say, 'The Lord has need of it and will immediately send it back here.'”
And if any man say to you, Why do you this? say you that the Lord has need of him; and straightway he will send him here.
4 They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside on the open street, and they untied it.
And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 Some people were standing there and said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
And certain of them that stood there said to them, What do you, loosing the colt?
6 They spoke to them as Jesus told them, and the people let them go their way.
And they said to them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 The two disciples brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it so Jesus could ride it.
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat on him.
8 Many people spread their garments on the road, and others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strewed them in the way.
9 Those who went before him and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 Then Jesus entered into Jerusalem and went into the temple and looked around at everything. Now, the time being late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about on all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 The next day, when they returned from Bethany, he was hungry.
And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 Seeing from far away a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it, and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 He spoke to it, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answered and said to it, No man eat fruit of you hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem, and he entered the temple and began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 He did not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple that could be sold.
And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 He taught them and said, “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.”
And he taught, saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but you have made it a den of thieves.
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard what he had said, and they looked for a way to kill him. For they feared him because the entire crowd was amazed at his teaching.
And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 When evening came, they left the city.
And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 As they walked by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered away.”
And Peter calling to remembrance says to him, Master, behold, the fig tree which you cursed is withered away.
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
And Jesus answering says to them, Have faith in God.
23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and cast yourself into the sea,' and if he does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he said will happen, that is what God will do.
For truly I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he says.
24 Therefore I say to you: Everything you pray and ask for, believe that you received it, and it will be yours.
Therefore I say to you, What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
25 When you stand and pray, you must forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses.”
And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have something against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 They came to Jerusalem again. As Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him.
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 They said to him, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you the authority to do them?”
And say to him, By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things?
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Tell me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 They discussed between themselves and argued and said, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?
32 But if we say, 'From men,' ... .” They were afraid of the people, for everyone was convinced that John was a prophet.
But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
And they answered and said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
