Mark 11

Mark Chapter 11 KJV

1Christ rideth into Jerusalem in triumph: 12curseth a barren fig tree: 15driveth the buyers and sellers out of the temple. 20The cursed fig tree is dried up: Christ exhorteth to faith in prayer, and to forgiveness of enemies: 27and silenceth the priests and others, who called in question his authority.
1 And 1when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at 2the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
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, 1whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that 1the Lord 2hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
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 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, 1and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, 1cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: 1Hosanna in the highest.
11 And 1Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: 2and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 1And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 1And 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 Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 1And 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 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, 1My house shall be called aof all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 1And 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 1And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 1And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw 2the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, aHave faith in God.
23 1For 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 say unto you, 1What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 1And 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 1But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 1And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking 2in the temple, there come to him 3the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 And say unto him, 1By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 And 1Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one aquestion, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 1The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not 1believe him?
32 1But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, 1We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, 2Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
