Marcum 11
1 Et cum appropinquarent Jerosolymæ et Bethaniæ ad montem Olivarum, mittit duos ex discipulis suis,
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
2 et ait illis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim introëuntes illuc, invenietis pullum ligatum, super quem nemo adhuc hominum sedit: solvite illum, et adducite.
and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
3 Et si quis vobis dixerit: Quid facitis? dicite, quia Domino necessarius est: et continuo illum dimittet huc.
If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
4 Et abeuntes invenerunt pullum ligatum ante januam foris in bivio: et solvunt eum.
So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
5 Et quidam de illic stantibus dicebant illis: Quid facitis solventes pullum?
and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
6 Qui dixerunt eis sicut præceperat illis Jesus, et dimiserunt eis.
The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
7 Et duxerunt pullum ad Jesum: et imponunt illi vestimenta sua, et sedit super eum.
Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
8 Multi autem vestimenta sua straverunt in via: alii autem frondes cædebant de arboribus, et sternebant in via.
Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
9 Et qui præibant, et qui sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna: benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini:
The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10 benedictum quod venit regnum patris nostri David: hosanna in excelsis.
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
11 Et introivit Jerosolymam in templum: et circumspectis omnibus, cum jam vespera esset hora, exiit in Bethaniam cum duodecim.
Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Et alia die cum exirent a Bethania, esuriit.
The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 Cumque vidisset a longe ficum habentem folia, venit si quid forte inveniret in ea: et cum venisset ad eam, nihil invenit præter folia: non enim erat tempus ficorum.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
14 Et respondens dixit ei: Jam non amplius in æternum ex te fructum quisquam manducet. Et audiebant discipuli ejus. (aiōn g165)
Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement. (aiōn g165)
15 Et veniunt in Jerosolymam. Et cum introisset in templum, cœpit ejicere vendentes et ementes in templo: et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
16 et non sinebat ut quisquam transferret vas per templum:
And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
17 et docebat, dicens eis: Nonne scriptum est: Quia domus mea, domus orationis vocabitur omnibus gentibus? vos autem fecistis eam speluncam latronum.
Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “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.’”
18 Quo audito principes sacerdotum et scribæ, quærebant quomodo eum perderent: timebant enim eum, quoniam universa turba admirabatur super doctrina ejus.
When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19 Et cum vespera facta esset, egrediebatur de civitate.
And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.
20 Et cum mane transirent, viderunt ficum aridam factam a radicibus.
As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
21 Et recordatus Petrus, dixit ei: Rabbi, ecce ficus, cui maledixisti, aruit.
Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
22 Et respondens Jesus ait illis: Habete fidem Dei.
“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
23 Amen dico vobis, quia quicumque dixerit huic monti: Tollere, et mittere in mare, et non hæsitaverit in corde suo, sed crediderit, quia quodcumque dixerit fiat, fiet ei.
“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Propterea dico vobis, omnia quæcumque orantes petitis, credite quia accipietis, et evenient vobis.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 Et cum stabitis ad orandum, dimittite si quid habetis adversus aliquem: ut et Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dimittat vobis peccata vestra.
And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”
26 Quod si vos non dimiseritis: nec Pater vester, qui in cælis est, dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
27 Et veniunt rursus Jerosolymam. Et cum ambularet in templo, accedunt ad eum summi sacerdotes, et scribæ, et seniores:
After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.
28 et dicunt ei: In qua potestate hæc facis? et quis dedit tibi hanc potestatem ut ista facias?
“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
29 Jesus autem respondens, ait illis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum, et respondete mihi: et dicam vobis in qua potestate hæc faciam.
“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
30 Baptismus Joannis, de cælo erat, an ex hominibus? Respondete mihi.
John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
31 At illi cogitabant secum, dicentes: Si dixerimus: De cælo, dicet: Quare ergo non credidistis ei?
They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 Si dixerimus: Ex hominibus, timemus populum: omnes enim habebant Joannem quia vere propheta esset.
But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
33 Et respondentes dicunt Jesu: Nescimus. Et respondens Jesus ait illis: Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc faciam.
So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
