riversident@Mark:11:4 @ They went and found the colt tied near the door outside in the street, and they untied him.

riversident@Mark:11:5 @ Some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

riversident@Mark:11:6 @ They gave the reply that Jesus had told them to give, and the men let them take it.

riversident@Mark:11:7 @ They brought the colt to Jesus and threw upon it their cloaks and he mounted it.

riversident@Mark:11:8 @ Then many spread their cloaks in the road and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields.

riversident@Mark:11:9 @ Some went in front and some followed, shouting, "God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

riversident@Mark:11:10 @ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! God in highest heaven save him!"

riversident@Mark:11:11 @ He entered Jerusalem and came into the Temple courts. After inspecting everything, because it was already late he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

riversident@Mark:11:12 @ On the next morning, after they had left Bethany, he was hungry,

riversident@Mark:11:13 @ and seeing a fig tree at a distance in full leaf he went to it on the chance of finding something on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

riversident@Mark:11:14 @ Then he said to it, And his disciples heard him.

riversident@Mark:11:17 @ for he taught and said to them,

riversident@Mark:11:18 @ When the high priests and the scribes heard of this they tried to contrive to put him out of the way, for they were afraid of him because the people were deeply impressed by his teaching.

riversident@Mark:11:19 @ When evening came, Jesus and his disciples used to go out of the city.

riversident@Mark:11:20 @ As they were passing by early in the morning they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

riversident@Mark:11:21 @ Peter, calling to mind, said to him, "Rabbi, see, the fig tree that you cursed has withered up."

riversident@Mark:11:31 @ But they discussed among themselves, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
