Mark 11
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
και οτε εγγιζουσιν εισ ιερουσαλημ εισ βηθσφαγη και βηθανιαν προσ το οροσ των ελαιων αποστελλει δυο των μαθητων αυτου
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
και λεγει αυτοισ υπαγετε εισ την κωμην την κατεναντι υμων και ευθεωσ εισπορευομενοι εισ αυτην ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον εφ ον ουδεισ ανθρωπων κεκαθικεν λυσαντεσ αυτον αγαγετε
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
και εαν τισ υμιν ειπη τι ποιειτε τουτο ειπατε οτι ο κυριοσ αυτου χρειαν εχει και ευθεωσ αυτον αποστελλει ωδε
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
απηλθον δε και ευρον πωλον δεδεμενον προσ την θυραν εξω επι του αμφοδου και λυουσιν αυτον
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
και τινεσ των εκει εστηκοτων ελεγον αυτοισ τι ποιειτε λυοντεσ τον πωλον
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
οι δε ειπον αυτοισ καθωσ ενετειλατο ο ιησουσ και αφηκαν αυτουσ
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
και ηγαγον τον πωλον προσ τον ιησουν και επεβαλον αυτω τα ιματια αυτων και εκαθισεν επ αυτω
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
πολλοι δε τα ιματια αυτων εστρωσαν εισ την οδον αλλοι δε στοιβαδασ εκοπτον εκ των δενδρων και εστρωννυον εισ την οδον
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
και οι προαγοντεσ και οι ακολουθουντεσ εκραζον λεγοντεσ ωσαννα ευλογημενοσ ο ερχομενοσ εν ονοματι κυριου
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
ευλογημενη η ερχομενη βασιλεια εν ονοματι κυριου του πατροσ ημων δαυιδ ωσαννα εν τοισ υψιστοισ
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
και εισηλθεν εισ ιεροσολυμα ο ιησουσ και εισ το ιερον και περιβλεψαμενοσ παντα οψιασ ηδη ουσησ τησ ωρασ εξηλθεν εισ βηθανιαν μετα των δωδεκα
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
και τη επαυριον εξελθοντων αυτων απο βηθανιασ επεινασεν
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
και ιδων συκην μακροθεν εχουσαν φυλλα ηλθεν ει αρα ευρησει τι εν αυτη και ελθων επ αυτην ουδεν ευρεν ει μη φυλλα ου γαρ ην καιροσ συκων
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτη μηκετι εκ σου εισ τον αιωνα μηδεισ καρπον φαγοι και ηκουον οι μαθηται αυτου (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
και ερχονται εισ ιεροσολυμα και εισελθων ο ιησουσ εισ το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τουσ πωλουντασ και αγοραζοντασ εν τω ιερω και τασ τραπεζασ των κολλυβιστων και τασ καθεδρασ των πωλουντων τασ περιστερασ κατεστρεψεν
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
και ουκ ηφιεν ινα τισ διενεγκη σκευοσ δια του ιερου
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
και εδιδασκεν λεγων αυτοισ ου γεγραπται οτι ο οικοσ μου οικοσ προσευχησ κληθησεται πασιν τοισ εθνεσιν υμεισ δε εποιησατε αυτον σπηλαιον ληστων
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
και ηκουσαν οι γραμματεισ και οι αρχιερεισ και εζητουν πωσ αυτον απολεσωσιν εφοβουντο γαρ αυτον οτι πασ ο οχλοσ εξεπλησσετο επι τη διδαχη αυτου
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
και οτε οψε εγενετο εξεπορευετο εξω τησ πολεωσ
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
και πρωι παραπορευομενοι ειδον την συκην εξηραμμενην εκ ριζων
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
και αναμνησθεισ ο πετροσ λεγει αυτω ραββι ιδε η συκη ην κατηρασω εξηρανται
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
και αποκριθεισ ο ιησουσ λεγει αυτοισ εχετε πιστιν θεου
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν οτι οσ αν ειπη τω ορει τουτω αρθητι και βληθητι εισ την θαλασσαν και μη διακριθη εν τη καρδια αυτου αλλα πιστευση οτι α λεγει γινεται εσται αυτω ο εαν ειπη
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
δια τουτο λεγω υμιν παντα οσα αν προσευχομενοι αιτησθε πιστευετε οτι λαμβανετε και εσται υμιν
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
και οταν στηκητε προσευχομενοι αφιετε ει τι εχετε κατα τινοσ ινα και ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ αφη υμιν τα παραπτωματα υμων
ει δε υμεισ ουκ αφιετε ουδε ο πατηρ υμων ο εν τοισ ουρανοισ αφησει τα παραπτωματα υμων
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
και ερχονται παλιν εισ ιεροσολυμα και εν τω ιερω περιπατουντοσ αυτου ερχονται προσ αυτον οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
και λεγουσιν αυτω εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεισ και τισ σοι την εξουσιαν ταυτην εδωκεν ινα ταυτα ποιησ
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
ο δε ιησουσ αποκριθεισ ειπεν αυτοισ επερωτησω υμασ και εγω ενα λογον και αποκριθητε μοι και ερω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
το βαπτισμα ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων αποκριθητε μοι
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
και ελογιζοντο προσ εαυτουσ λεγοντεσ εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
αλλ ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων εφοβουντο τον λαον απαντεσ γαρ ειχον τον ιωαννην οτι οντωσ προφητησ ην
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
και αποκριθεντεσ λεγουσιν τω ιησου ουκ οιδαμεν και ο ιησουσ αποκριθεισ λεγει αυτοισ ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
