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 (Mrk) 11
11
1As they were approaching Yerushalayim, near Beit-Pagei and Beit-Anyah, by the Mount of Olives, Yeshua sent two of his talmidim 2with these instructions: “Go into the village ahead of you; and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it, and bring it here. 3If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it,’ and he will send it here right away.”
4They went off and found a colt in the street tied in a doorway, and they untied it. 5The bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6They gave the answer Yeshua had told them to give, and they let them continue. 7They brought the colt to Yeshua and threw their robes on it, and he sat on it.
8Many people carpeted the road with their clothing, while others spread out green branches which they had cut in the fields. 9Those who were ahead and those behind shouted,
“Please! Deliver us!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai!”
10“Blessed is the coming Kingdom of our father David!”
and,
“You in the highest heaven! Please! Deliver us!”
11Yeshua entered Yerushalayim, went into the Temple courts and took a good look at everything; but since it was now late, he went out with the Twelve to Beit-Anyah.
12The next day, as they came back from Beit-Anyah, he felt hungry. 13Spotting in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came up to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it wasn’t fig season. 14He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And his talmidim heard what he said.
15On reaching Yerushalayim, he entered the Temple courts and began driving out those who were carrying on business there, both the merchants and their customers. He also knocked over the desks of the money-changers, upset the benches of the pigeon-dealers, 16and refused to let anyone carry merchandise through the Temple courts. 17Then, as he taught them, he said, “Isn’t it written in the Tanakh, My house will be called a house of prayer for all the Goyim But you have made it into a den of robbers!” 18The head cohanim and the Torah-teachers heard what he said and tried to find a way to do away with him; they were afraid of him, because the crowds were utterly taken by his teaching. 19When evening came, they left the city.
20In the morning, as the talmidim passed by, they saw the fig tree withered all the way to its roots. 21Kefa remembered and said to Yeshua, “Rabbi! Look! The fig tree that you cursed has dried up!” 22He responded, “Have the kind of trust that comes from God! 23Yes! I tell you that whoever does not doubt in his heart but trusts that what he says will happen can say to this mountain, ‘Go and throw yourself into the sea!’ and it will be done for him. 24Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, trust that you are receiving it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive your offenses.” 26
27They went back into Yerushalayim; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the head cohanim, the Torah-teachers and the elders; 28and they said to him, “What s’mikhah do you have that authorizes you to do these things? Who gave you this s’mikhah authorizing you to do them?” 29Yeshua said to them, “I will ask you just one question: answer me, and I will tell you by what s’mikhah I do these things. 30The immersion of Yochanan — was it from Heaven or from a human source? Answer me.” 31They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From Heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32But if we say, ‘From a human source, . . . ’” — they were afraid of the people, for they all regarded Yochanan as a genuine prophet. 33So they answered Yeshua, “We don’t know.” “Then,” he replied, “I won’t tell you by what s’mikhah I do these things.”
