< 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 came nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth 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 saith to them, Go into the village over against you: and as soon as ye have entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which never man sat; loose him, and bring [him].
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 man shall say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he will send him 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 went, and found the colt tied by the door without, in a place where two ways met; 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 certain of them that stood there, said to them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had instructed them. And they permitted them.
And they said to them even as Jesus had commanded; and they let them go.
7 And they led the colt to Jesus. And they placed their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
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 spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off trees, and strewed [them] in 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 they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
10 Blessed is the advent of the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!”
Blessed [be] the kingdom of our Father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: 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 Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round upon all things, it being now evening, 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 had come from Bethany, he was hungry,
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 a fig-tree afar off, having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing on it: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves: for the time of figs had not yet come.
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 Jesus answered and said to it, Let no man eat fruit of thee hereafter 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 Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And he would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple.
And would not suffer that any man should carry [any] vessel 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 by all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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 scribes and chief priests heard [it], and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people were astonished at his doctrine.
19 And when evening had arrived, he departed from the city.
And when evening had come, he went out of the city.
20 And when they passed by in the morning, they saw that the fig tree had dried up from the roots.
And in the morning, as they passed by, 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 calling to remembrance, saith to him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is withered.
22 And in response, Jesus said to them: “Have the faith of God.
And Jesus answering, saith 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.
For verily I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that the things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he saith.
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.
Therefore I say to you, Whatever things ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
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 aught against any: that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
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 heaven forgive your trespasses.
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 was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
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 say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to 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 answered and said to them, I will also ask of you one question, 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] from heaven, or from 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 shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 If we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the people. For they all hold that John was a true prophet.”
But if we shall say, from men; they feared the people: for all [men] counted John that he was a prophet indeed.
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 answered and said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
