Mark:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem ,
unto Bethphage and Bethany ,
at the mount of Olives ,
he sendeth forth two of his disciples ,
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And certain of them that stood there said unto them ,
What do ye ,
loosing the colt ?
*
And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded :
and they let them go .
*
And they brought the colt to Jesus ,
and cast their garments on him ;
and he sat upon him .
*
And many spread their garments in the way :
and others cut down branches off the trees ,
and strawed them in the way .
*
And they that went before ,
and they that followed ,
cried ,
saying ,
Hosanna ;
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord :
*
Blessed be the kingdom of our father David ,
that cometh in the name of the Lord :
Hosanna in the highest .
*
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 .
*
And on the morrow ,
when they were come from Bethany ,
he was hungry :
*
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 .
*
And Jesus answered and said unto it ,
No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever .
And his disciples heard it .
*
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 ;
*
And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And when even was come ,
he went out of the city .
*
And in the morning ,
as they passed by ,
they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots .
*
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him ,
Master ,
behold ,
the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away .
*
And Jesus answering saith unto them ,
Have faith in God .
*
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 .
*
Therefore I say unto you ,
What things soever ye desire ,
when ye pray ,
believe that ye receive them ,
and ye shall have them .
*
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 .
*
But if ye do not forgive ,
neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses .
*
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 ,
*
And say unto him ,
By what authority doest thou these things ?
and who gave thee this authority to do these things ?
*
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 .
*
The baptism of John ,
was it from heaven ,
or of men ?
answer me .
*
And they reasoned with themselves ,
saying ,
If we shall say ,
From heaven ;
he will say ,
Why then did ye not believe him ?
*
But if we shall say ,
Of men ;
they feared the people :
for all men counted John ,
that he was a prophet indeed .
*
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 .
