[Mark 11]

 

             {Luk 19:1-28; Jericho.} {Joh 11:55-12:11 Bethany March 31- April 1, 30 AD.}

 

             {The week of Jesus’ crucifixion. Mar 11:1-11 & Mat 21:1-12, 14-17 & Luk 19:29-44 & Joh 12:12-19 Bethany to Jerusalem and back Sun. April 2, 30 AD.}

             ^11:1 And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, toward the Mountain of Olives, he sends two of his disciples, ^11:2 and says to them, Proceed-away^° into the village which is in front of you^° and immediately while traveling into it, you^° will find a young-donkey {i.e., a foal} which has been tied, upon which no one from mankind has sat, after you^° have loosed it, lead° it here. ^11:3 And if anyone says to you^°, Why are you^° doing^* this? Say^°, The Lord has need of him, and immediately he will send it here. ^11:4 Now they went away and found a young-donkey which has been tied to the door outside in the road, and they loose him.

             ^11:5 And some of the ones standing there were saying to them, What are you^° doing^*, loosening the young-donkey?

             ^11:6 And they said to them just-as Jesus commanded and they allowed them. ^11:7 And they led the young-donkey to Jesus and cast their garments upon it, and he sat upon it. ^11:8 But many spread their garments onto the road, and others were cutting leafage from the trees and were spreading them in the road. ^11:9 And the ones preceding him and the ones following him, were crying out, saying, Hosanna; the one coming in the name of the Lord has been blessed! ^11:10 The kingdom, the one coming in the name of the Lord of our father David has been blessed! Hosanna in the highest!

 

             ^11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the temple, and looked around at all things, already being the evening hour, he went forth to Bethany with the twelve.

 

             {Mar 11:12-18 & Mat 21:18-19, Mat 21:12-13 & Luk 19:45-48 Road from Bethany to Jerusalem Mon.}

             ^11:12 And on the next-day, after they themselves went forth from Bethany, he hungered. ^11:13 And he saw a fig tree from afar having leaves, and went to see if he will then find anything in it, and after he came upon it, he found nothing except leaves; for^* it was not the time of figs. ^11:14 And Jesus answered and said to it, No one may eat fruit from you; no longer, forever. And his disciples were hearing it.

 

             ^11:15 And they come to Jerusalem and Jesus entered into the temple and began to cast forth the ones who are selling and buying in the temple, and he turned over the tables of the brokers and the chairs of the ones who are selling the doves; ^11:16 and he was not allowing, that^* anyone should carry goods through the temple. ^11:17 And he was teaching them, saying to them, Has it not been written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you^° made^* it a den of robbers.’ {Isa 56:7 and Jer 7:11} ^11:18 And the scribes and the high-priests heard it and were seeking how they might destroy him, for^* they were fearing him, because all the crowd was being astounded at his teaching.

 

             {Mar 11:19-26 & Mat 21:20-22 & Luk 21:37-38 Road from Bethany to Jerusalem Tues.}

             ^11:19 And when it became evening, he was traveling outside the city. ^11:20 And while traveling by in the morning, they saw the fig tree which has been dried up from the roots. ^11:21 And Peter remembered, and says to him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which you cursed, it has been dried up.

             ^11:22 And Jesus answered and says to them, Have^° the faith of God. ^11:23 For^* assuredly I am saying to you^°, Whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, and should not doubt in his heart, but should believe that what he says happens; whatever he says will be to him. ^11:24 Because of this, I am saying to you^°, All things, as many things as you^° would ask for when praying, believe^° that you^° are receiving them and it will be for you^°. ^11:25 And whenever you^° stand praying, if you^° have anything against anyone, forgive^° them; in-order-that your^° Father the one in the heavens may also forgive you^° your^° trespasses. ^11:26 But if you^° do not forgive, neither will your^° Father, the one in the heavens, be forgiving your^° trespasses.

 

             {Mar 11:27-33 & Mat 21:23-27 & Luk 20:1-8 Courtyard of the Temple, Tues.}

             ^11:27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and while he himself is walking in the temple, the high-priests and the scribes and the elders come to him; ^11:28 and they say to him, By what authority are you doing^* these things? And who gave you this authority in-order-that you should do these things?

             ^11:29 But Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you^° one question, and answer^° me, and I will tell you^° by what authority I am doing^* these things. ^11:30 The immersion^* of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer^° me.

             ^11:31 And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will be saying, Therefore, why did you^° not believe him? ^11:32 But should we say, From men? (They were fearing the people. For^* all were holding that John really was a prophet.)

             ^11:33 And they answered and say to Jesus, We do not know.

             And Jesus answered and says to them, Neither do I tell you^° by what authority I am doing^* these things.
