Mark 11

1And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

1And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

2And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him.

2And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

3And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither.

3And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? say, The Lord has need of him and will send him back straight away.

4And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him.

4And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.

5And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

5And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

6Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them.

6And they said to them the words which Jesus had said; and they let them go.

7And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him.

7And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.

8And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way.

8And a great number put down their clothing in the way; and others put down branches which they had taken from the fields.

9And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

9And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

10Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.

10A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.

11And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.

11And he went into Jerusalem into the Temple; and after looking round about on all things, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

12And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry.

12And on the day after, when they had come out from Bethany, he was in need of food.

13And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs.

13And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.

14And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever! And his disciples heard it.

14And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words.

15And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves.

15And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money;

16And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

16And he would not let any man take a vessel through the Temple.

17And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written: My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves.

17And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves.

18Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.

18And it came to the ears of the chief priests and scribes, and they took thought how they might put him to death; being in fear of him, because all the people were full of wonder at his teaching.

19And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.

19And every evening he went out of the town.

20And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

20And when they were going by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dead from the roots.

21And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away.

21And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

22And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God.

22And Jesus, answering, said to them, Have God's faith.

23Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but be believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.

23Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

24Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you.

24For this reason I say to you, Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.

25And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins.

25And whenever you make a prayer, let there be forgiveness in your hearts, if you have anything against anyone; so that you may have forgiveness for your sins from your Father who is in heaven.

26But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in heaven forgive you your sins.

27And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

27And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:

28And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?

28And they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you authority to do these things?

29And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word. And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

29And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things.

30The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.

30The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer.

31But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

31And they gave thought to it among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not have faith in him?

32If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

32But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.

33And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

33And they said in answer to Jesus, We have no idea. And Jesus said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.
