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,
Now as they came to Jerusalem, they were close to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, and Jesus sent out 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 us. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
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.'
If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you should say, 'The Lord has need of it and will immediately send it back here.'”
4 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,
They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside on the open street, and they untied it.
5 and certain of those standing there said to them, 'What do ye — loosing the colt?'
Some people were standing there and said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
6 and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.
They spoke to them as Jesus told them, and the people let them go their way.
7 And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,
The two disciples brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it so Jesus could ride it.
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.
Many people spread their garments on the road, and others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
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;
Those who went before him and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who 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.'
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
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.
Then Jesus entered into Jerusalem and went into the temple and looked around at everything. Now, the time being late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,
The next day, when they returned from 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,
Seeing from far away a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it, and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 and Jesus answering said to it, 'No more from thee — to the age — may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing. (aiōn g165)
He spoke to it, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
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,
They came to Jerusalem, and he entered the temple and began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
16 and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,
He did not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple that could be sold.
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 taught them and said, “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 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;
The chief priests and the scribes heard what he had said, and they looked for a way to kill him. For they feared him because the entire crowd was amazed at his teaching.
19 and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.
When evening came, they left the city.
20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,
As they walked by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
21 and Peter having remembered saith to him, 'Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'
Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered away.”
22 And Jesus answering saith to them, 'Have faith of God;
Jesus answered them, “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.
Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and cast yourself into the sea,' and if he does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he said will happen, that is what God will do.
24 Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.
Therefore I say to you: Everything you pray and ask for, believe that you received it, and it will 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;
When you stand and pray, you must forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses.”
26 and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens 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,
They came to Jerusalem again. As Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him.
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?'
They said to him, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you the authority 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 said to them, “I will ask you one question. Tell 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.'
The baptism of John, was it 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?
They discussed between themselves and argued and said, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, '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,' ... .” They were afraid of the people, for everyone was 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.'
Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
