Mark 11

Wycliffe Bible

11 And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,^[a],

² and saith to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you; and at once as ye enter there ye shall find a colt tied, on which no man hath sat yet^[b]; untie ye, and bring him.

³ And if any man say any thing to you, What do ye? say ye, that he is needful to the Lord, and at once he shall let him go hither [and anon he shall leave him hither].

⁴ And they went forth, and found a colt tied before the gate withoutforth, in the meeting of two ways; and they untied him.

⁵ And some of them that stood there said to them, What do ye, untying the colt?

⁶ And they said to them, as Jesus commanded them; and they left it to them [and they let go to them].

⁷ And they brought the colt to Jesus, and they laid on him their clothes, and Jesus sat on him^[c].

⁸ And many strewed their clothes in the way, and other men cutted branches off trees^[d], and strewed in the way.

⁹ And they that went before, and that followed, cried, and said [saying], Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord;

¹⁰ blessed be the kingdom of our father David that is to come; Hosanna in highest things.^[e]

¹¹ And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had seen all things about, when it was even^[f], he went out into Bethany, with the twelve.

¹² And another day, when he went out of Bethany [when he went out from Bethany], he hungered.

¹³ And when he had seen a fig tree afar having leaves, he came, if happily he should find any thing thereon; and when he came to it, he found nothing, except leaves; for it was not time of figs.

¹⁴ And Jesus answered and said to it, Now never eat any man fruit of thee more [Now no more without end any man eat fruit of thee]. And his disciples heard;

¹⁵ and they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out sellers and buyers in the temple^[g]; and he turned upside-down the boards of changers, and the chairs of men that sold culvers;

¹⁶ and he suffered not, that any man should bear a vessel through the temple.

¹⁷ And he taught them, and said, Whether it is not written, That mine house shall be called the house of praying to all folks^[h]? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

¹⁸ And when this thing was heard, the princes of priests and [the] scribes sought how they should destroy him [sought how they should lose him]; for they dreaded him, for all the people wondered on his teaching.

¹⁹ And when evening was come, he went out of the city.

²⁰ And as they passed forth early [And when they passed early], they saw the fig tree made dry from the roots.

²¹ And Peter bethought him(self), and said to him, Master, lo! the fig tree, whom thou cursedest, is dried up. [And Peter having mind, said to him, Master, lo! the fig tree, which thou cursedest, hath dried up.]

²² And Jesus answered and said to them, Have ye the faith of God;

²³ truly I say to you, that whoever saith to this hill, Be thou taken, and [be thou] cast into the sea; and doubt not in his heart, but believeth, that whatever he say [but believeth, for whatever thing he saith], shall be done, it shall be done to him.

²⁴ Therefore I say to you, all things whatever things ye praying shall ask, believe ye that ye shall take, and they shall come to you.

²⁵ And when ye shall stand to pray, forgive ye, if ye have any thing against any man, that [also] your Father that is in heavens, forgive to you your sins.

²⁶ And if ye forgive not, neither your Father that is in heavens, shall forgive to you your sins.^[i]

²⁷ And again they came to Jerusalem. And when he walked in the temple, the highest priests, and scribes, and the elder men came to him. [And again they come to Jerusalem. And when he walked into the temple, the highest priests, and scribes, and elder men come nigh to him,]

²⁸ and said to him [and say to him], In what power doest thou these things? or who gave to thee this power, that thou do these things [or who gave to thee this power, that to do these things]?

²⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, And I shall ask [of] you one word, and answer ye to me, and I shall say to you in what power I do these things.

³⁰ Whether was the baptism of John of heaven, or of men? answer ye to me.

³¹ And they thought within themselves, saying, If we [shall] say of heaven, he shall say to us, Why then believe ye not to him [Why therefore believed ye not to him];

³² if we [shall] say of men, we dread the people; for all men had John, that he was verily a prophet.

³³ And they answered, and said to Jesus, We know not. And Jesus answered, and said to them [And Jesus answering saith to them], Neither I say to you, in what power I do these things.
