Marcum 11
1 Et cum appropinquarent Ierosolymae, et Bethaniae 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 introeuntes 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 ianuam 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 praeceperat illis Iesus, et dimiserunt eos.
The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
7 Et duxerunt pullum ad Iesum: 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 caedebant 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 praeibant, 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 Ierosolymam in templum: et circumspectis omnibus, cum iam 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 praeter 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: Iam non amplius in aeternum ex te fructum quisquam manducet. Et audiebant discipuli eius. (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 iterum in Ierosolymam. Et cum introisset in templum, coepit eiicere 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 Scribae quaerebant quomodo eum perderent: timebant enim eum, quoniam universa turba admirabatur super doctrina eius.
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 Iesus 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 haesitaverit 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 quaecumque 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 quis habetis adversus aliquem: ut et Pater vester qui in caelis 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 caelis est, dimittet vobis peccata vestra.
27 Et veniunt rursus Ierosolymam. Et cum ambularet in templo, accedunt ad eum summi sacerdotes, et Scribae, 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 haec 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 Iesus autem respondens, ait illis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum, et respondete mihi: et dicam vobis in qua potestate haec 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 Ioannis, de caelo 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 caelo, dicet nobis, 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 Ioannem 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 Iesu: Nescimus. Et respondens Iesus ait illis: Neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate haec faciam.
So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
