Mark 11
1 And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
2 and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you:
and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man
ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of
him; and straightway he will send him back hither.
4 And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open
street; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the
colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
7 And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat
upon him.
8 And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they
had cut from the fields.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed
[is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed [is] the kingdom that cometh, [the kingdom] of our father David:
Hosanna in the highest.
11 And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round
about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the
twelve.
12 And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find
anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it
was not the season of figs.
14 And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for
ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast
out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables
of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
16 and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the
temple.
17 And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be
called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of
robbers.
18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might
destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his
teaching.
19 And every evening he went forth out of the city.
20 And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away
from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree
which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken
up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe
that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.
24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe
that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one;
that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there
come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
28 and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who
gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and 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 reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He
will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John
to be a prophet.
33 And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them,
Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
