KJ3 Literal Translation
Mark 11
1 Christ rides into Jerusalem: 12 curses the fruitless tree: 20 and exhorts His disciples to stedfastness of faith.
1And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, toward the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples,
2and said to them, Go into the village opposite you. And going into it, at once you will find a young ass tied, on which no one of men has sat. Loosing it, bring it.
3And if anyone says to you, Why do you do this? say, The Lord has need of it. And he will at once send it here.
4And they departed and found the young ass tied at the door outside, by the crossway; and they loosed it.
5And some of those standing there said to them, What are you doing, loosing the young ass?
6And they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they let them go.
7And they led the young ass to Jesus. And they threw their garments on it, and He sat on it.
8And many spread their garments on the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and were spreading them into the road.
9And those going before, and those following after, were crying out, saying, Hosanna! “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” Psa. 118:26
10Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
11And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple. And having looked around at all things, the hour already being late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12And on the morrow, they going out from Bethany, He hungered.
13And seeing afar off a fig tree having leaves, He went toward it, if perhaps He would find anything on it. And coming on it, He found nothing except leaves, for it was not the season of figs.
14And answering, Jesus said to it, Let no one eat fruit of you any more to the age. And His disciples heard.
15And they came to Jerusalem. And entering into the temple, Jesus began to throw out those selling and buying in the temple; also He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling the doves.
16And He did not allow any to carry a vessel through the temple.
17And He taught, saying to them, Has it not been written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.” “But you have made it a den of plunderers.”? Isa. 56:7; Jer. 7:11
18And the scribes and the chief priests heard. And they sought how they might destroy Him, for they feared Him, because all the crowd was astonished at His doctrine.
19And when evening came, He went outside the city.
20And passing along early, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
21And remembering, Peter said to Him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.
22And answering, Jesus said to them, Have faith of God.
23For truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be thrown into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be to him, whatever he says.
24Therefore I say to you, All things, as many things as you ask, praying, believe that you will receive, and it will be to you.
25And when you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive your deviations.
26But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in Heaven forgive your deviations.
27And they come again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him.
28And they said to Him, By what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority that You do these things?
29And answering, Jesus said to them, I will also ask you one thing, and answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:
30The baptism of John, was it from Heaven, or from men? Answer Me.
31And theywere reasoning to themselves, saying, If we say, From Heaven, He will say, Why then did you not believe him?
32But if we say, From men, they feared the people. For all held that John truly was a prophet.
33And answering, they said to Jesus, We do not know. And answering, Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
