| |
| | Mar 11:1 | And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
| |
| | Mar 11:2 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:3 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:4 | And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.
| |
| | Mar 11:5 | And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
| |
| | Mar 11:6 | And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
| |
| | Mar 11:7 | And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
| |
| | Mar 11:8 | And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.
| |
| | Mar 11:9 | And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed `is' he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
| |
| | Mar 11:10 | Blessed `is' the kingdom that cometh, `the kingdom' of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.
| |
| | Mar 11:11 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:12 | And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.
| |
| | Mar 11:13 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:14 | And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it.
| |
| | Mar 11:15 | 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;
| |
| | Mar 11:16 | and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.
| |
| | Mar 11:17 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:18 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:19 | And every evening he went forth out of the city.
| |
| | Mar 11:20 | And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
| |
| | Mar 11:21 | And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
| |
| | Mar 11:22 | And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
| |
| | Mar 11:23 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:24 | Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
| |
| | Mar 11:25 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:26 | `But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.'
| |
| | Mar 11:27 | 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;
| |
| | Mar 11:28 | and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?
| |
| | Mar 11:29 | 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.
| |
| | Mar 11:30 | The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.
| |
| | Mar 11:31 | And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
| |
| | Mar 11:32 | But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.
| |
| | Mar 11:33 | 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.
