Mark 11:4-33 ▼

4 And they went away and found a colt tied at the door outside on the street, and they loose it.

5 And some of those standing there were saying to them, “What are you? doing, loosing the colt?”

6 And they said to them just as Jesus said, and they allowed them.

7 And they bring the colt to Jesus, and they cast on it their garments, and He sat on it.

8 And many spread their garments in the road, and others, branches having been cut from the fields.

9 And those going before and those following were crying out: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!”

10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

11 And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple. And having looked around at all things, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

12 And on the next day, on their having gone out from Bethany, He was hungry.

13 And having seen a fig tree from afar having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He will find anything on it. And having gone to it, He found nothing except leaves, for it was not the season of figs.

14 And answering, He said to it, “No more to the age may anyone eat of your fruit.” And His disciples were hearing.

15 And they come to Jerusalem. And having entered into the temple, He began to cast out those selling and those buying in the temple. And He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling the doves,

16 and He was not permitting that anyone might carry a vessel through the temple.

17 And He was teaching and was saying to them, “Has it not been 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 chief priests and the scribes heard, and they were seeking how they might destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, for all the crowd was astonished at His teaching.

19 And when evening came, they were going forth out of the city.

20 And passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

21 And having remembered, Peter says to Him, “Rabbi, look, the fig tree that You cursed has withered.”

22 And answering, Jesus says to them, “Have faith from God.

23 Truly I say to you? that whoever shall say to this mountain, ‘Be taken away and be cast into the sea,’ and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says happens, it will be done for him.

24 Because of this, I say to you?, all things—as many as you? pray and ask—believe that you? receive, and it will be unto you?.

25 And when you? stand praying, if you? have anything against anyone, forgive, so that your? Father who is in the heavens may also forgive you? your? trespasses.”

26

27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and in His walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him.

28 And they were saying to Him, “By what authority do You do these things? Or who gave You this authority, that You should do these things?”

29 And Jesus said to them, “I will question you? one word, and you? shall 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!”

31 And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “What should we say? If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you? not believe him?’

32 But should we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the crowd, for all were holding that John truly was a prophet.

33 And answering Jesus, they say, “We do not know.” And Jesus says to them, “Neither do I tell you? by what authority I do these things.”
