< Mark 11 >
1 And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
As they approached Jerusalem, being come as far as Bethphage, and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives; he sent two of his disciples,
2 and saith to them, 'Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:
and said to them, Go into the village opposite you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose him, and bring him.
3 and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'
And if any person ask you, Wherefore do you this? say, The Master needs him, and he will instantly send him hither.
4 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,
Accordingly they went, and finding a colt tied before a door, where two ways met, they loosed him.
5 and certain of those standing there said to them, 'What do ye — loosing the colt?'
Some of the people present said to them, Wherefore do you loose the colt?
6 and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.
They having answered as Jesus had commanded them, were allowed to take him.
7 And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,
Accordingly they brought the colt to Jesus, on which having laid their mantles, he sat on him.
8 and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.
And many spread their mantles in the way; others cut down sprays from the trees, and strowed them in the way.
9 And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, 'Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;
And they who went before, and they who followed shouted, saying, Hosanna! blessed be He that comes in the name of the Lord!
10 blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.'
Happy be the approaching Reign of our Father David!
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.
In this manner Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple; where, after surveying everything around, it being late, he departed with the twelve to Bethany.
12 And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,
The next day, when he left Bethany, he was hungry;
13 and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,
and observing a fig tree at a distance, full of leaves, went to look for fruit on it, for the fig harvest was not yet. And being come, he found nothing but leaves.
14 and Jesus answering said to it, 'No more from thee — to the age — may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing. (aiōn )
Then he said to it, Henceforth let no man ever eat fruit off you. And his disciples heard him. (aiōn )
15 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew,
Being returned to Jerusalem, he went into the temple, and drove out them who sold, and them who bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers, and the stalls of them who sold doves;
16 and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,
and would suffer no person to carry vessels through the temple.
17 and he was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written — My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'
He also taught them, 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.
18 And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;
And the scribes and the chief priests hearing this, sought means to destroy him; for they dreaded him, because all the multitude admired his doctrine.
19 and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.
And in the evening he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,
Next morning as they returned, they saw that the fig tree was dried up from the root.
21 and Peter having remembered saith to him, 'Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'
Peter recollecting, said to him, Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which you devoted, already withered.
22 And Jesus answering saith to them, 'Have faith of God;
Jesus answered, Have faith in God.
23 for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.
For indeed, I say to you, Whoever shall say to this mountain, Be lifted, and thrown into the sea, and shall not in the least doubt, but shall believe that what he says shall happen; whatever he shall command, shall be done for him;
24 Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.
for which reason I assure you, that what things soever you pray for, if you believe that you shall obtain them, they shall be yours.
25 'And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;
And when you pray, forgive, if you have matter of complaint against any; that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your trespasses.
26 and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father, who is in heaven, forgive your trespasses.
27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
Again, they arrived at Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, scribes, and the elders, came,
28 and they say to him, 'By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'
and said to him, By what authority do you these things? and who empowered you to do them?
29 And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will question you — I also — one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;
Jesus answering, said to them, I also have a question to ask; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 the baptism of John — from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.'
Was the title which John had to immerse, from heaven, or from men? Answer me.
31 And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
Then they argued thus among themselves; If we say, From heaven; he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him?
32 But if we may say, From men,' — they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;
But if we say, From men; we are in danger from the people, who are all convinced that John was a prophet.
33 and answering they say to Jesus, 'We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'
They therefore answering, said to Jesus, We can not tell. Jesus replied, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
