Mark 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples	1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately on entering it, you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.	2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 If anyone should say to you, 'Why are you doing this?' reply, 'The Master has need of it and will send it back here at once.'"	3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 So they went off and found a colt tethered at a gate outside on the street, and they untied it.	4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 Some of the bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"	5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 They answered them just as Jesus had told them to, and they permitted them to do it.	6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 So they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And he sat on it.	7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.	8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out: "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!	9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!"	10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 He entered Jerusalem and went into the temple area. He looked around at everything and, since it was already late, went out to Bethany with the Twelve.	11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany he was hungry.	12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 Seeing from a distance a fig tree in leaf, he went over to see if he could find anything on it. When he reached it he found nothing but leaves; it was not the time for figs.	13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And he said to it in reply, "May no one ever eat of your fruit again!" And his disciples heard it.	14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 They came to Jerusalem, and on entering the temple area he began to drive out those selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves.	15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 He did not permit anyone to carry anything through the temple area.	16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 Then he taught them saying, "Is it not written: 'My house shall be called a house of prayerfor all peoples'? But you have made it a den of thieves."	17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 The chief priests and the scribes came to hear of it and were seeking a way to put him to death, yet they feared him because the whole crowd was astonished at his teaching.	18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 When evening came, they went out of the city.	19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 Early in the morning, as they were walking along, they saw the fig tree withered to its roots.	20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered."	21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 Jesus said to them in reply, "Have faith in God.	22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him.	23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours.	24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 When you stand to pray, forgive anyone against whom you have a grievance, so that your heavenly Father may in turn forgive you your transgressions."	25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 )	26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 They returned once more to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approached him	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 said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do them?"	28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 Jesus said to them, "I shall ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.	29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Was John's baptism of heavenly or of human origin? Answer me."	30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 They discussed this among themselves and said, "If we say, 'Of heavenly origin,' he will say, '(Then) why did you not believe him?'	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 shall we say, 'Of human origin'?"--they feared the crowd, for they all thought John really was a prophet.	32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 So they said to Jesus in reply, "We do not know." Then Jesus said to them, "Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things."	33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
