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 as they approached Jerusalem, near by Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent 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 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.
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 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.
4 They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside on the open street, and they untied it.
And they went, and they found the colt tied, by the door, without in the street. And as they were loosing him,
5 Some people were standing there and said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
some of those standing there, said to them: What do ye, untying the colt?
6 They spoke to them as Jesus told them, and the people let them go their way.
And they said to them, as Jesus had commanded them; and they permitted them.
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 upon him, and set Jesus upon 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 branches from 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 those preceding him, and those following him shouted and said: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
And blessed is the advancing kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest heavens.
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 Jerusalem and the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when evening arrived, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 The next day, when they returned from Bethany, he was hungry.
And the following day, as he left 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 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.
14 He spoke to it, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
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)
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 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.
16 He did not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple that could be sold.
And he suffered no one to carry goods 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 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.
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 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.
19 When evening came, they left the city.
And when it was evening, they went out from 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, as it were, from its root.
21 Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered away.”
And Simon remembered, and said to him: Rabbi; behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst, is dried up.
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
And Jesus replied, and said 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.
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.
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, That whatsoever ye shall pray and ask for, believe that it will be, and it will be to you.
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 ye stand up to pray, forgive what ye have against any one; that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive your offences.
For if ye forgive not, your Father also who is in heaven will not forgive you your offences.
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 came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and Scribes and Elders came to him,
28 They said to him, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you the authority to do them?”
and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee the 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 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.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Tell 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, and said: If we should say to him, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye 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 should say, From men; there is fear from the people; for they have all held John to be truly a prophet.
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 do not know. He said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
