Godbey - Mark - 11

11:1  And when they draw nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, He sends away two of His disciples,

11:2  and says to them, Go into the village over against you: and immediately entering into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one of men has ever sat; loosing him, lead him away.

11:3  And if any one may say to you, Why do you this? say to him, that the Lord hath need of him; and immediately he sends him hither.

11:4  Then they departed, and found the colt tied at the door without at the crossing of the road; and they are loosing him.

11:5  And certain ones of those standing there said to them, What are you doing, loosing the colt?

11:6  And they said to them as Jesus commanded: and they permitted them.

11:7  And they lead the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and He sat on him.

11:8  And many strewed their garments in the road; and others were cutting down the branches of the trees, (and strewing them in the road),

11:9  And those going before, and those following after, continued to cry out, Hosanna: blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord:

11:10  blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest!

11:11  And He came into Jerusalem, into the temple; and looking round upon all things, the hour being already late, He went out into Bethany along with the twelve.

11:12  And on the morrow, they going out from Bethany, He was hungry.

11:13  And seeing a fig-tree at a distance, having leaves, He came, if perchance He shall find something on it: and having come to it, He found nothing except leaves; for it was not the time of the figs.

11:14  And responding He said to it, Let no one ever eat fruit from thee. And His disciples heard Him.

11:15  And they come into Jerusalem: and He having come into the temple, began to cast out the buyers and sellers in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money-exchangers, and the seats of those selling doves;

11:16  and He did not suffer that any one should carry a vessel through the temple.

11:17  And He was teaching, saying to them, Is it not written, That my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the Gentiles? But you have made it a den of thieves.

11:18  And the scribes and high priests heard Him, seeking how they might destroy Him: for they feared Him, because all the multitude were delighted with His teaching.

11:19  And when it was evening, He departed out of the city.

11:20  And going along in the morning, they saw the fig-tree utterly withered from the roots.

11:21  And Peter remembering says to Him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou didst execrate is withered away.

11:22  And Jesus responding says to them, Have God's faith.

11:23  Truly I say unto you, That whosoever may say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and may not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says does take place; it shall be unto him.

11:24  Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever you pray for and ask, believe that you just now received them, and they shall be unto you.

11:25  And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have aught against any one; in order that your Father who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses.

11:27  They come again into Jerusalem. And He walking round in the temple, the high priests, and scribes, and elders come to Him;

11:28  and they said to Him, By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority that you may do them?

11:29  And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one word, and you respond to me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

11:30  Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? answer me.

11:31  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, It is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on him?

11:32  But if we may say, From men; they feared the people: for all held John that he was a prophet.

11:33  And responding they say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
