Mark 11

1

And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

2

and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having loosed it, bring [it]:

3

and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

4

And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door without, by the two ways, and they loose it,

5

and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do ye -- loosing the colt?'

6

and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered them.

7

And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it their garments, and he sat upon it,

8

and many did spread their garments in the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way.

9

And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, `Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

10

blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.'

11

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.

12

And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he hungered,

13

and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

14

and Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee -- to the age -- may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing.

15

And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those selling the doves, he overthrew,

16

and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,

17

and he was teaching, saying to them, `Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'

18

And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

19

and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.

20

And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

21

and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'

22

And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;

23

for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

24

Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

25

`And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

26

and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'

27

And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

28

and they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'

29

And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you -- I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

30

the baptism of John -- from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.'

31

And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

32

But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

33

and answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

Mark 12

1

And he began to speak to them in similes: `A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-winevat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;

2

and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,

3

and they, having taken him, did severely beat [him], and did send him away empty.

4

`And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent away -- dishonoured.

5

`And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.

6

`Having yet therefore one son -- his beloved -- he sent also him unto them last, saying -- They will reverence my son;

7

and those husbandmen said among themselves -- This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance;

8

and having taken him, they did kill, and cast [him] forth without the vineyard.

9

`What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

10

And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:

11

from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.'

12

And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;

13

and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse,

14

and they having come, say to him, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?'

15

And he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, `Why me do ye tempt? bring me a denary, that I may see;'

16

and they brought, and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?' and they said to him, `Caesar's;'

17

and Jesus answering said to them, `Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did wonder at him.

18

And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

19

`Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if any one's brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

20

`There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;

21

and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed, and the third in like manner,

22

and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman;

23

in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife -- for the seven had her as wife?'

24

And Jesus answering said to them, `Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?

25

for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.

26

`And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

27

he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.'

28

And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, `Which is the first command of all?'

29

and Jesus answered him -- `The first of all the commands [is], Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one;

30

and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength -- this [is] the first command;

31

and the second [is] like [it], this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; -- greater than these there is no other command.'

32

And the scribe said to him, `Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;

33

and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.'

34

And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, `Thou art not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more durst question him.

35

And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, `How say the scribes that the Christ is son of David?

36

for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies -- thy footstool;

37

therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,

38

and he was saying to them in his teaching, `Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

39

and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers,

40

who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.'

41

And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,

42

and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.

43

And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;

44

for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in -- all her living.'
