Mark 11

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

This verse is not included in this edition.

27
English · Berean Standard Bible

After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.

28
English · Berean Standard Bible

“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”

29
English · Berean Standard Bible

“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

30
English · Berean Standard Bible

John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”

31
English · Berean Standard Bible

They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

32
English · Berean Standard Bible

But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.

33
English · Berean Standard Bible

So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
