Mark 11
1 And as they were approaching Jerusalem and Bethania, toward the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,
2 and he said to them: “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately upon entering there, you will find a colt tied, on which no man has yet sat. Release him and bring him.
and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no [child] of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it [here].
3 And if anyone will say to you: ‘What are you doing?’ Say that the Lord has need of him. And he will immediately send him here.”
And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.
4 And going out, they found the colt tied before the outer gate, at the meeting of two ways. And they untied him.
And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.
5 And some of those who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing by releasing the colt?”
And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?
6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had instructed them. And they permitted them.
And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them [do it].
7 And they led the colt to Jesus. And they placed their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;
8 Then many spread their garments along the way; but others cut down leafy branches from trees and scattered them on the way.
and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees [and went on strewing them on the way].
9 And those who went ahead, and those who followed, cried out saying: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord.
And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed [be] he that comes in [the] Lord's name.
10 Blessed is the advent of the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!”
Blessed [be] the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!
11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple. And having looked around at everything, since it was now the evening hour, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.
And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 And the next day, as they were departing from Bethania, he was hungry.
And on the morrow, when they were gone out of Bethany, he hungered.
13 And when he had seen a fig tree with leaves in the distance, he went to it, in case he might find something on it. And when he had gone to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the season for figs.
And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.
14 And in response, he said to it, “From now on and forever, may no one eat fruit from you again!” And his disciples heard this. (aiōn g165)
And answering he said to it, Let no one eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard [it]. (aiōn g165)
15 And they went to Jerusalem. And when he had entered into the temple, he began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. And he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of the vendors of doves.
And they come to Jerusalem, and entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and who bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the dove-sellers,
16 And he would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple.
and suffered not that any one should carry any package through the temple.
17 And he taught them, saying: “Is it not written: ‘For my house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations?’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.”
And he taught saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.
18 And when the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, had heard this, they sought a means by which they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the entire multitude was in admiration over his doctrine.
And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine.
19 And when evening had arrived, he departed from the city.
And when it was evening he went forth without the city.
20 And when they passed by in the morning, they saw that the fig tree had dried up from the roots.
And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter, remembering, said to him, “Master, behold, the fig tree that you cursed has withered.”
And Peter, remembering [what Jesus had said], says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.
22 And in response, Jesus said to them: “Have the faith of God.
And Jesus answering says to them, Have faith in God.
23 Amen I say to you, that whoever will say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and who will not have hesitated in his heart, but will have believed: then whatever he has said be done, it shall be done for him.
Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.
24 For this reason, I say to you, all things whatsoever that you ask for when praying: believe that you will receive them, and they will happen for you.
For this reason I say to you, All things whatsoever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come to pass for you.
25 And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your sins.
And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.
26 But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father, who is in heaven, forgive you your sins.”
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.
27 And they went again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders approached him.
And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,
28 And they said to him: “By what authority do you do these things? And who has given you this authority, so that you would do these things?”
and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?
29 But in response, Jesus said to them: “I also will ask you one word, and if you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, 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 of heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 But they discussed it among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why [then] have ye not believed him?
32 If we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the people. For they all hold that John was a true prophet.”
but should we say, Of men — they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.
33 And answering, they said to Jesus, “We do not know.” And in response, Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
And they answering say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus [answering] says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
