Mark 11

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King

11As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,G2532G3753G1448G1519G2419G1519G967G2532G963G4314G3735G1636G649G1417G846G31012saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.G2532G3004G846G5217G1519G2968G2713G5216G2532G2112G1531G1519G846G2147G4454G1210G1909G3739G3762G444G2523G3089G846G713If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.'"G2532G1437G5100G2036G5213G5101G4160G5124G2036G3754G2962G2192G5532G846G2532G2112G649G846G56024They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it,G1161G565G2532G2147G4454G1210G4314G2374G1854G1909G296G2532G3089G8465some people standing there asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"G2532G5100G2476G1563G3004G846G5101G4160G3089G44546They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go.G1161G2036G846G2531G2424G1781G2532G863G846G8637When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it.G2532G71G4454G4314G2424G2532G1911G846G2440G1911G846G2532G2523G1909G8468Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields.G1161G4183G4766G846G2440G1519G3598G1161G243G2875G4746G1537G1186G2532G4766G1519G35989Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, "Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"G2532G4254G2532G190G2896G3004G5614G2127G2064G1722G3686G296210"Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!" "Hosanna in the highest!"G2127G932G2257G3962G1138G2064G1722G3686G2962G5614G1722G531011Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.G2532G2424G1525G1519G2414G2532G1519G2411G2532G4017G3956G2235G3798G5610G5607G1831G1519G963G3326G1427

Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts

12The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.G2532G1887G846G1831G575G963G398313Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.G2532G1492G4808G3113G2192G5444G2064G1487G686G2147G5100G1722G846G2532G2064G1909G846G2147G3762G1508G5444G1063G2540G4810G2258G375614Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it.G2532G2424G611G2036G846G3367G5315G2590G1537G4675G3371G1519G165G2532G846G3101G19115On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves,G2532G2064G1519G2414G2532G2424G1525G1519G2411G756G1544G4453G2532G59G1722G2411G2532G2690G5132G2855G2532G2515G846G4453G405816and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.G2532G863G3756G863G2443G5100G1308G4632G1223G241117And as he taught them, he said, "Is it not written: "'My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it 'a den of robbers.'"G2532G1321G3004G846G1125G3756G1125G3754G3450G3624G2564G3956G1484G3624G4335G1161G5210G4160G846G4693G302718The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.G2532G1122G2532G749G191G2532G2212G4459G622G846G1063G5399G846G3754G3956G3793G1605G1909G846G132219When evening came, they went out of the city.G2532G3753G3796G1096G1607G1854G417220In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.G2532G4404G3899G1492G4808G3583G1537G449121Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"G2532G4074G363G3004G846G4461G2396G4808G3739G2672G358322"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.G2532G2424G611G3004G846G2192G4102G231623"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.G1063G281G3004G5213G3754G3739G302G2036G5129G3735G142G2532G906G1519G2281G2532G1252G3361G1252G1722G846G2588G235G4100G3754G3739G3004G1096G846G2071G3739G1437G203624Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.G1223G5124G3004G5213G3745G3956G302G154G4336G4100G3754G2983G2532G5213G207125And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."G2532G3752G4739G4336G863G1536G2192G1536G2596G5100G2443G5216G3962G2532G3588G1722G3772G863G5213G5216G390026But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins.G1161G1487G5210G863G3756G863G3761G863G5216G3962G3588G1722G3772G863G5216G3900

The Authority of Jesus Questioned

27They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him.G2532G2064G3825G1519G2414G2532G846G4043G1722G2411G2064G4314G846G749G2532G1122G2532G424528"By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you authority to do this?"G2532G3004G846G1722G4169G1849G4160G5023G2532G5101G1325G4671G5026G1849G2443G4160G502329Jesus replied, "I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.G1161G2424G611G2036G846G1905G2504G1905G5209G1520G3056G2532G611G3427G2532G2046G5213G1722G4169G1849G4160G502330John's baptism—was it from heaven, or from men? Tell me!"G908G2491G2258G1537G3772G2228G1537G444G611G342731They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why didn't you believe him?'G2532G3049G4314G1438G3004G1437G2036G1537G3772G2046G1302G3767G4100G3756G4100G84632But if we say, 'From men' . . . ." (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)G235G1437G2036G1537G444G5399G2992G1063G537G2192G2491G3754G2258G4396G368933So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."G2532G611G3004G2424G1492G3756G1492G2532G2424G611G3004G846G3761G1473G3004G5213G1722G4169G1849G4160G5023

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
