The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 11
{11:1} When they drew near to Yerushalayim, to Beit-Pagey and
Beit-Anyah, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his
[1>]talmidim[<1], {11:2} and said to them, "Go your way into the
village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you
will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring
him. {11:3} If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The
Lord needs him;' and immediately he will send him back here."
{11:4} They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in
the open street, and they untied him. {11:5} Some of those who stood
there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" {11:6} They
said to them just as Yeshua had said, and they let them go.
{11:7} They brought the colt to Yeshua, and threw their garments on
it, and Yeshua sat on it. {11:8} Many spread their garments on the
way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and
spreading them on the road. {11:9} Those who went in front, and those
who followed, cried out, "Hoshia`na! Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord! {11:10} Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hoshia`na in the highest!"
{11:11} Yeshua entered into the temple in Yerushalayim. When he had
looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to
Beit-Anyah with the twelve.
{11:12} The next day, when they had come out from Beit-Anyah, he was
hungry. {11:13} Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to
see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he
found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. {11:14}
Yeshua told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his
[2>]talmidim[<2] heard it.
{11:15} They came to Yerushalayim, and Yeshua entered into the
temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in
the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the
seats of those who sold the doves. {11:16} He would not allow anyone
to carry a container through the temple. {11:17} He taught, saying to
them, "Isn't it written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer
for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers!"
{11:18} The chief [3>]Kohanim[<3] and the [4>]Sofrim[<4] heard it,
and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, for all
the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
{11:19} When evening came, he went out of the city. {11:20} As they
passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the
roots. {11:21} Rock, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig
tree which you cursed has withered away."
{11:22} Yeshua answering said to them, "Have faith in God. {11:23}
For most assuredly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be
taken up and cast into the sea,' and doesn't doubt in his heart, but
believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he
says. {11:24} Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and
ask for, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.
{11:25} Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything
against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also
forgive you your transgressions. {11:26} But if you do not forgive,
neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions."
{11:27} They came again to Yerushalayim, and as he was walking in
the temple, the chief [5>]Kohanim[<5], and the [6>]Sofrim[<6], and the
Zakenim came to him, {11:28} and they began saying to him, "By what
authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do
these things?"
{11:29} Yeshua said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer
me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. {11:30}
The immersion of Yochanan -- was it from heaven, or from men? Answer
me."
{11:31} They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say,
'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
{11:32} If we should say, 'From men'"--they feared the people, for all
held Yochanan to really be a prophet. {11:33} They answered Yeshua,
"We don't know."
Yeshua said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do
these things."
