馬可福音 11
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
騎驢進耶路撒冷
11 耶穌和門徒將近耶路撒冷，快到橄欖山附近的伯法其和伯大尼兩個村莊時，祂派了兩個門徒， 2 對他們說：「你們去前面的村莊，一進村就會看見一頭從來沒有人騎過的驢駒拴在那裡，你們把牠解開牽來。 3 若有人問你們為什麼這樣做，就說，『主要用牠，很快會把牠送回來。』」 4 他們進了村子，果然看見有一頭驢駒拴在街道旁一戶人家的門外，就上前解開牠。 5 旁邊站著的幾個人就問他們：「你們為什麼要解開這頭驢駒？」
6 門徒依照耶穌的吩咐回答，那些人就讓他們牽走了。 7 他們把驢駒牽到耶穌面前，將自己的外衣搭在驢背上，耶穌就騎了上去。 8 很多人把衣服鋪在路上，有人將田間的樹枝砍下來鋪在路上。 9 大家前呼後擁，高聲歡呼：
「和散那[a]！
奉主名來的當受稱頌！
10 那將要來臨的我祖大衛的國度當受稱頌！
和散那歸於至高之處的上帝！」
11 耶穌進了耶路撒冷，來到聖殿，巡視各處。那時天色已晚，耶穌便和十二門徒出城前往伯大尼。
咒詛無花果樹
12 第二天，他們離開伯大尼後，耶穌餓了。 13 祂遠遠看見有一棵枝葉茂盛的無花果樹，就走過去找果子吃。到了樹下，卻什麼也找不到，只有滿樹的葉子，因為當時不是收無花果的季節。 14 祂對那棵樹說：「願無人再吃你的果子！」祂的門徒都聽見了這句話。
潔淨聖殿
15 他們來到耶路撒冷後，耶穌進入聖殿，趕走了裡面做買賣的人，推翻了兌換錢幣之人的桌子和賣鴿子之人的凳子， 16 不准人抬著貨物穿過聖殿。 17 祂教導他們說：「聖經上不是記載『我的殿必稱為萬民禱告的殿』嗎？你們竟把它變成了賊窩。」
18 祭司長和律法教師聽到這番話後，就策劃如何殺害耶穌，只是有些怕祂，因為百姓都對祂的教導感到驚奇。 19 到了傍晚，耶穌和門徒去了城外。
無花果樹的教訓
20 早上，他們又經過那棵無花果樹，看見它連根都枯了。 21 彼得想起昨天發生的事，就對耶穌說：「老師，你看！昨天你咒詛的無花果樹已經枯了。」
22 耶穌說：「要對上帝有信心。 23 我實在告訴你們，不論何人，只要有信心，毫不疑惑，就是對這座山說，『從這裡挪開，投進大海裡！』也必定為他成就。 24 所以我告訴你們，你們禱告時無論求什麼，只要相信已經得到了，就必得到。 25 你們站著禱告的時候，若想起有人得罪了你們，就要饒恕他。這樣，你們天上的父也會饒恕你們的過犯。 26 你們如果不饒恕別人，你們天上的父也不會饒恕你們的過犯。[b]」
質問耶穌的權柄
27 他們再次回到耶路撒冷。耶穌在聖殿裡行走的時候，祭司長、律法教師和長老上前質問祂： 28 「你憑什麼權柄做這些事？誰授權給你了？」
29 耶穌說：「我也要問你們一個問題，你們回答了，我就告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。 30 約翰的洗禮是從天上來的還是從人來的？請回答我！」
31 他們彼此議論說：「如果我們說『是從天上來的』，祂一定會問，『那你們為什麼不信他？』 32 如果我們說『是從人來的』，又怕觸怒百姓，因為他們都相信約翰真的是先知。」 33 於是，他們回答說：「我們不知道。」耶穌說：「我也不告訴你們我憑什麼權柄做這些事。」

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
騎驢進耶路撒冷(A)
11 他們走近耶路撒冷，到了伯法其和伯大尼，來到橄欖山那裡，耶穌派了兩個門徒， 2 對他們說：“你們往對面的村子裡去，一進去，就會看見一頭小驢拴在那裡，是沒有人騎過的，把牠解開牽來。 3 如果有人問你們：‘為甚麼這樣作？’你們就說：‘主需要牠，並且很快會送還到這裡來。’” 4 門徒去了，就發現一頭小驢，拴在門外的街上，就把牠解開。 5 站在那裡的人有的問他們說：“你們為甚麼解牠？” 6 門徒照著耶穌所說的話回答他們，那些人就讓他們牽走了。 7 門徒把小驢牽到耶穌那裡，把自己的衣服搭在上面，耶穌就騎了上去。 8 許多人把衣服鋪在路上，還有人從田野裡砍了些樹枝也鋪在路上。 9 前行後隨的人都喊著說：
“‘和散那’，
奉主名來的是應當稱頌的！
10 那將要來臨的，
我們祖先大衛的國是應當稱頌的！
高天之上當唱‘和散那’！”
11 耶穌到了耶路撒冷，進入聖殿，察看了一切，因為時候已經不早，就和十二門徒出城往伯大尼去。
咒詛無花果樹(B)
12 第二天他們從伯大尼出來，耶穌餓了。 13 他遠遠看見一棵長滿了葉子的無花果樹，就走過去，看看是否可以在樹上找到甚麼。到了樹下，除了葉子甚麼也找不著，因為這不是收無花果的時候。 14 耶穌對樹說：“永遠再沒有人吃你的果子了！”他的門徒也聽見了。
潔淨聖殿(C)
15 他們來到耶路撒冷。耶穌進了聖殿，就把殿裡作買賣的人趕走，又推倒找換銀錢的人的桌子，和賣鴿子的人的凳子； 16 不許人拿著器皿穿過聖殿。 17 他又教訓眾人說：“經上不是寫著
‘我的殿要稱為萬國禱告的殿’嗎？
你們竟把它弄成賊窩了。”
18 祭司長和經學家聽見了，就想辦法怎樣除掉耶穌，卻又怕他，因為群眾都希奇他的教訓。 19 到了晚上，他們就到城外去。
20 早晨，他們經過的時候，看見那棵無花果樹連根都枯萎了。 21 彼得想起來就對耶穌說：“拉比，請看，你所咒詛的無花果樹，已經枯萎了。” 22 耶穌回答他們：“你們對 神要有信心（“你們對 神要有信心”有些抄本作“如果你們對 神有信心”）。 23 我實在告訴你們，無論甚麼人對這座山說‘移開，投到海裡’，只要他心裡不懷疑，相信他所說的一定能夠成就，就必給他成就。 24 所以我告訴你們，凡是你們禱告祈求的，只要相信能夠得到，就必得到。 25 你們站著禱告的時候，如果有誰得罪了你們，就該饒恕他，好使你們的天父也饒恕你們的過犯。”（有些抄本有第26節：“如果你們不饒恕人，你們的天父也必不饒恕你們的過犯。”）
質問耶穌憑甚麼權柄作事(D)
27 他們又來到耶路撒冷。耶穌在殿裡行走的時候，祭司長、經學家和長老來到他跟前， 28 問他：“你憑甚麼權柄作這些事？誰給你權柄作這些事？” 29 耶穌對他們說：“我要問你們一句話，你們回答了我，我就告訴你們我憑甚麼權柄作這些事。 30 約翰的洗禮是從天上來的，還是從人來的呢？你們回答我吧。” 31 他們就彼此議論：“如果我們說‘是從天上來的’，他就會說‘那你們為甚麼不信他呢？’ 32 如果我們說‘是從人來的’……”他們害怕群眾，因為眾人都認為約翰的確是先知。 33 於是他們回答耶穌：“我們不知道。”耶穌對他們說：“我也不告訴你們我憑甚麼權柄作這些事。”
Mark 11
King James Version
11 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27 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,
28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark 11
New King James Version
The Triumphal Entry(A)
11 Now (B)when they drew near Jerusalem, to [a]Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples; 2 and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. 3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”
4 So they went their way, and found [b]the colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it. 5 But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”
6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go. 7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. 8 (C)And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna!
(D)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
10 Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
That comes [c]in the name of the Lord!
(E)Hosanna in the highest!”
11 (F)And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
The Fig Tree Withered(G)
12 (H)Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 (I)And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”
And His disciples heard it.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple(J)
15 (K)So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold (L)doves. 16 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple. 17 Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, (M)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a (N)‘den of thieves.’ ”
18 And (O)the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because (P)all the people were astonished at His teaching. 19 When evening had come, He went out of the city.
The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree(Q)
20 (R)Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For (S)assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, (T)whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Forgiveness and Prayer(U)
25 “And whenever you stand praying, (V)if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 [d]But (W)if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
Jesus’ Authority Questioned(X)
27 Then they came again to Jerusalem. (Y)And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him. 28 And they said to Him, “By what (Z)authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?”
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things: 30 The (AA)baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”
31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘From men’ ”—they feared the people, for (AB)all counted John to have been a prophet indeed. 33 So they answered and said to Jesus, “We do not know.”
And Jesus answered and said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
