Mark 11

Authored by: American Standard Version
11:1
Και οτε εγγιζουσιν εις Ιεροσολυμα εις Βηθφαγη και Βηθανιαν προς το ορος των Ελαιων αποστελλει δυο των μαθητων αυτου
And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
11:2
και λεγει αυτοις Υπαγετε εις την κωμην την κατεναντι υμων και ευθυς εισπορευομενοι εις αυτην ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον εφ ον ουδεις ουπω ανθρωπων εκαθισεν λυσατε αυτον και φερετε
and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
11:3
και εαν τις υμιν ειπη Τι ποιειτε τουτο ειπατε Ο Κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει και ευθυς αυτον αποστελλει παλιν ωδε
And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.
11:4
Και απηλθον και ευρον πωλον δεδεμενον προς θυραν εξω επι του αμφοδου και λυουσιν αυτον
And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.
11:5
και τινες των εκει εστηκοτων ελεγον αυτοις Τι ποιειτε λυοντες τον πωλον
And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
11:6
Οι δε ειπαν αυτοις καθως ειπεν ο Ιησους και αφηκαν αυτους
And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
11:7
και φερουσιν τον πωλον προς τον Ιησουν και επιβαλλουσιν αυτω τα ιματια αυτων και εκαθισεν επ αυτον
And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
11:8
Και πολλοι τα ιματια αυτων εστρωσαν εις την οδον αλλοι δε στιβαδας κοψαντες εκ των αγρων
And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.
11:9
και οι προαγοντες και οι ακολουθουντες εκραζον Ωσαννα Ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος εν ονοματι Κυριου
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
11:10
Ευλογημενη η ερχομενη βασιλεια του πατρος ημων Δαυιδ Ωσαννα εν τοις υψιστοις
Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.
11:11
Και εισηλθεν εις Ιεροσολυμα εις το ιερον και περιβλεψαμενος παντα οψιας ηδη ουσης της ωρας εξηλθεν εις Βηθανιαν μετα των δωδεκα
And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
11:12
Και τη επαυριον εξελθοντων αυτων απο Βηθανιας επεινασεν
And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.
11:13
και ιδων συκην απο μακροθεν εχουσαν φυλλα ηλθεν ει αρα τι ευρησει εν αυτη και ελθων επ αυτην ουδεν ευρεν ει μη φυλλα ο γαρ καιρος ουκ ην συκων
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.
11:14
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτη Μηκετι εις τον αιωνα εκ σου μηδεις καρπον φαγοι και ηκουον οι μαθηται αυτου
And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it.
11:15
Και ερχονται εις Ιεροσολυμα Και εισελθων εις το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τους πωλουντας και τους αγοραζοντας εν τω ιερω και τας τραπεζας των κολλυβιστων και τας καθεδρας των πωλουντων τας περιστερας κατεστρεψεν
And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
1
11:16
και ουκ ηφιεν ινα τις διενεγκη σκευος δια του ιερου
and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.
11:17
και εδιδασκεν και ελεγεν αυτοις Ου γεγραπται οτι Ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης κληθησεται πασιν τοις εθνεσιν υμεις δε πεποιηκατε αυτον Σπηλαιον ληστων
And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.
11:18
Και ηκουσαν οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις και εζητουν πως αυτον απολεσωσιν εφοβουντο γαρ αυτον πας γαρ ο οχλος εξεπλησσετο επι τη διδαχη αυτου
And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
11:19
Και οταν οψε εγενετο εξεπορευοντο εξω της πολεως
And every evening he went forth out of the city.
11:20
Και παραπορευομενοι πρωι ειδον την συκην εξηραμμενην εκ ριζων
And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
11:21
και αναμνησθεις ο Πετρος λεγει αυτω Ραββι ιδε η συκη ην κατηρασω εξηρανται
And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
11:22
Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους λεγει αυτοις Εχετε πιστιν θεου
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
11:23
αμην λεγω υμιν οτι ος αν ειπη τω ορει τουτω Αρθητι και βληθητι εις την θαλασσαν και μη διακριθη εν τη καρδια αυτου αλλα πιστευη οτι ο λαλει γινεται εσται αυτω
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.
11:24
δια τουτο λεγω υμιν παντα οσα προσευχεσθε και αιτεισθε πιστευετε οτι ελαβετε και εσται υμιν
Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
11:25
Και οταν στηκετε προσευχομενοι αφιετε ει τι εχετε κατα τινος ινα και ο Πατηρ υμων ο εν τοις ουρανοις αφη υμιν τα παραπτωματα υμων
And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
11:27
Και ερχονται παλιν εις Ιεροσολυμα και εν τω ιερω περιπατουντος αυτου ερχονται προς αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι
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;
11:28
και ελεγον αυτω Εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεις η τις σοι εδωκεν την εξουσιαν ταυτην ινα ταυτα ποιης
and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?
11:29
Ο δε Ιησους ειπεν αυτοις Επερωτησω υμας ενα λογον και αποκριθητε μοι και ερω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
11:30
το βαπτισμα το Ιωαννου εξ ουρανου ην η εξ ανθρωπων αποκριθητε μοι
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.
11:31
Και διελογιζοντο προς εαυτους λεγοντες Εαν ειπωμεν Εξ ουρανου ερει Δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
11:32
αλλα ειπωμεν Εξ ανθρωπων εφοβουντο τον οχλον απαντες γαρ ειχον τον Ιωαννην οντως οτι προφητης ην
But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.
11:33
και αποκριθεντες τω Ιησου λεγουσιν Ουκ οιδαμεν Και ο Ιησους λεγει αυτοις Ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

Disrupting the one space set aside for outsiders

Jesus overturns tables in the temple courts specifically in the area designated for Gentile worship, a detail easy to miss without knowing the temple's layout. Disrupting commerce happening in the one space set aside for non-Jewish worshippers adds a...
