Mark 11
11
1 And as they were approaching Jerusalem and Bethania, toward the mount of Olives, he sent 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.
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."
4 And going out, they found the colt tied before the outer gate, at the meeting of two ways. And they untied him.
5 And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing by releasing the colt?"
6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had instructed them. And they permitted them.
7 And they led the colt to Jesus. And they placed their garments on it; and he sat upon it.
8 Then many spread their garments along the way; but others cut down leafy branches from trees and scattered 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.
10 Blessed is the advent of the 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.
12 And the next day, as they were departing from Bethania, 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.
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.
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.
16 And he would not permit anyone to carry goods 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."
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.
19 And when evening had arrived, he departed from the city.
20 And when they passed by in the morning, they saw that the fig tree had dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter, remembering, said to him, "Master, behold, the fig tree that you cursed has withered."
22 And in response, Jesus said to them: "Have the faith of 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.
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.
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.
26 But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father, who is in heaven, forgive you your sins."
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.
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?"
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.
30 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?'
32 If we say, 'From men,' we fear the people. For they all hold that John was a true 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."

Mark 11
11
1And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2and 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]:
3and 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.’
4And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,
5and certain of those standing there said to them, ‘What do ye — loosing the colt?’
6and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.
7And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,
8and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.
9And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, ‘Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;
10blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.’
11And 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.
12And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,
13and 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,
14and Jesus answering said to it, ‘No more from thee — to the age — may any eat fruit;’ and his disciples were hearing.
15And 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,
16and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,
17and 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?’
18And 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;
19and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.
20And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,
21and Peter having remembered saith to him, ‘Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.’
22And Jesus answering saith to them, ‘Have faith of God;
23for 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.
24Because of this I say to you, all whatever — praying — ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.
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;
26and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.’
27And 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,
28and they say to him, ‘By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?’
29And 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;
30the baptism of John — from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.’
31And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, ‘If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
32But if we may say, From men,’ — they were fearing the people, for all were holding
33and 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.’
