Chapter 11 (CV)

¹ And when they are drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethphage and to Bethany, toward the mount of Olives, He is dispatching two of His disciples,
² and He is saying to them, "Go into the village facing you, and straightway, going into it, you will be finding a colt, bound, on which not as yet any man is seated. Loose it and bring it.
³ And if anyone should be saying to you, 'What is this you are doing?' say that 'The Lord has need of it, and straightway He is dispatching it here again.'"
⁴ And they came away and found the colt bound to the door outside on the encircling road, and they are loosing it.
⁵ And some of those standing there said to them,
⁶ "What are you doing, loosing the colt?" Now they told them according as Jesus said, and they let them take it.
⁷ And they are bringing the colt to Jesus, and they are casting their own garments on it, and He is seated on it.
⁸ And many strew their own garments in the road, yet others, soft foliage, chopping it out of the fields, and strewed it on the road.
⁹ And those preceding and those following cried, saying, "Hosanna! Blessed be He Who is coming in the name of the Lord!
¹⁰ And blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David in the name of the Lord! Hosanna among the highest!"
¹¹ And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the sanctuary. And looking all about, it being already the evening hour, He came out to Bethany with the twelve.
¹² And on the morrow, at their coming out from Bethany, He hungers.
¹³ And perceiving one fig tree from afar having leaves, He came, if, consequently, He will be finding anything on it. And coming to it, He found nothing except leaves, for it was not the season of figs.
¹⁴ And answering, He said to it, "By no means may anyone still be eating fruit of you for the eon." And His disciples heard.
¹⁵ And they are coming into Jerusalem. And Jesus, entering into the sanctuary, begins to cast out those selling and those buying in the sanctuary, and the tables of the brokers and the seats of those selling doves He overturns.
¹⁶ And He did not give leave that anyone may be carrying a vessel through the sanctuary.
¹⁷ And He taught and said to them, "Is it not written that 'My house a house of prayer shall be called, for all nations'? Yet you make it a burglars' cave."
¹⁸ And the chief priests and the scribes hear, and they sought how they should be destroying Him, for they feared Him, for the entire throng was astonished at His teaching.
¹⁹ And whenever it came to be evening, they went out, outside the city.
²⁰ And going by in the morning, they perceived the fig tree withered from the roots.
²¹ And, recollecting, Peter is saying to Him, "Rabbi! Lo! the fig tree which Thou didst curse has withered!"
²² And answering, Jesus is saying to them, "If you have faith of God,
²³ verily, I am saying to you that whosoever may be saying to this mountain, 'Be picked up and cast into the sea,' and may not be doubting in his heart, but should be believing that what he is speaking is occurring, it shall be his, whatsoever he may be saying.
²⁴ "Therefore I am saying to you, All, whatever you are praying and requesting, be believing that you obtained, and it will be yours.
²⁵ And whenever you may be standing praying, be forgiving, if you have anything against anyone, that your Father also, Who is in the heavens, may be forgiving you your offenses.
²⁶ Now if you are not forgiving, neither will your Father Who is in the heavens be forgiving your offenses."
²⁷ And they are coming again into Jerusalem. And at His walking in the sanctuary, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders are coming to Him,
²⁸ and they said to Him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gives you this authority, that you may be doing these things?"
²⁹ Now Jesus, answering, said to them, "I also will be inquiring of you one word, and answer Me, and I will be declaring to you by what authority I am doing these things.
³⁰ The baptism of John -- whence was it? Was it of heaven or of men? Answer Me!"
³¹ And they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should be saying, 'Of heaven,' he will be declaring, 'Wherefore then, do you not believe him?'
³² But may we be saying, 'Of men'?" They feared the people, for all had it that John really was a prophet.
³³ And answering Jesus, they are saying, "We are not aware." And answering, Jesus is saying to them, "Neither am I telling you by what authority I am doing these things."

Chapter 11 (KJV)

¹ And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the 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, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
³ And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath 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, and 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, cried, 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: Hosanna in the highest.
¹¹ And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
¹² And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
¹³ And 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 And 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, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
¹⁸ And 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 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
²⁰ And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the 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, Have faith in God.
²³ For 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, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
²⁵ And 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 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
²⁷ And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
²⁸ And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
²⁹ And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
³⁰ The 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 believe him?
³² But 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, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
