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。」
Mark 11
Jubilee Bible 2000
11 ¶ And when they came near to Jerusalem unto Bethphage and Bethany at the mount of Olives, he sends forth two of his disciples
2 and said unto them, Go to the place which is before you; and as soon as ye are entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which no man ever sat; loose him and bring him.
3 And if anyone says unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord has need of him, and straightway he will send him here.
4 And they went and found the colt tied by the door outside between two ways, and they loosed him.
5 And some of those that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 Then they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.
7 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 leaves off the trees and spread them in the way.
9 And those that went before and those that followed cried out, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord;
10 blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
11 And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and when he had looked around upon all things, and it being now late, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12 ¶ And the next day when they left Bethany, he was hungry,
13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing upon her; but when he came to her, he found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet.
14 Then Jesus, answering, said to the fig tree, Never again shall anyone eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus, entering into the temple, began to cast out those that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those that sold doves
16 and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught them, saying, Is it not written that my house shall be called house of prayer by all the nations? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18 And the scribes and the princes of the priests heard it and sought how they might kill him, for they feared him because all the multitude was astonished at his doctrine.
19 But when evening was come, Jesus went out of the city.
20 And passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21 Then Peter, remembering, said unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away.
22 And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Remove thyself and cast thyself into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says shall be done whatsoever he says shall be done unto him.
24 Therefore I say unto you that everything that ye ask for, praying, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come upon you.
25 And when ye are praying, forgive if ye have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in the heavens will also forgive you your trespasses.
26 For if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.
27 ¶ And they returned to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders came
28 and said unto him, By what faculty doest thou these things? and who gave thee this faculty to do these things?
29 Then Jesus, answering, said unto them, I will also ask of you one word, and respond unto me, and I will tell you with what faculty I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men? Respond unto me.
31 Then they thought inside 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, we fear the people, for everyone judged regarding John that he truly was a prophet.
33 And answering, they said unto Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Neither shall I tell you with what faculty I do these things.
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.
