Ang Matagumpay na Pagpasok sa Jerusalem(A)
11 Nang papalapit na sila sa Betfage at Betania, sa Jerusalem, sa may malapit sa Bundok ng mga Olibo, pinauna ni Jesus ang dalawa sa kanyang mga alagad. 2 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo sa susunod na nayon. Pagpasok doon ay makikita ninyo ang isang nakataling bisirong asno, hindi pa nasasakyan ninuman. Kalagan ninyo iyon at dalhin dito. 3 Kapag may nagtanong sa inyo kung bakit ginagawa ninyo iyon sabihin ninyo, ‘Kailangan ito ng Panginoon at ibabalik din agad.’ ” 4 Lumakad ang dalawang alagad at may nakita nga silang bisirong asno sa tabi ng daan. Nakatali ito sa may pintuan. Nang kinakalagan na nila ito, 5 tinanong sila ng ilang nakatayo roon, “Ano ang ginagawa ninyo at kinakalagan ninyo ang bisiro?” 6 Sumagot sila gaya ng bilin ni Jesus, at hinayaan na sila ng mga ito. 7 Dinala nila kay Jesus ang bisirong asno. Matapos nilang isapin sa likod nito ang kanilang mga balabal, sumakay dito si Jesus. 8 Maraming tao ang naglatag ng kanilang balabal sa daan, samantalang ang iba'y naglatag ng mga madahong sanga na kanilang pinutol mula sa bukid. 9 Ang (B) mga tao naman sa unahan at ang mga nasa hulihan ay sumisigaw,
“Hosanna! Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon! 10 Pinagpala ang dumarating na kaharian ng ating amang si David! Hosanna sa kataas-taasan!”
11 Nang makapasok na si Jesus sa Jerusalem, nagtungo siya sa templo at pinagmasdan ang buong paligid niyon. Dahil gumagabi na, lumabas siya at pumunta sa Betania kasama ang labindalawa.
Isinumpa ni Jesus ang Puno ng Igos(C)
12 Kinabukasan, nang pabalik na sila mula sa Betania, nakaramdam ng gutom si Jesus. 13 Natanaw niya sa di-kalayuan ang isang puno ng igos na maraming dahon. Nilapitan niya ito upang tingnan kung may bunga. Subalit dahil hindi pa panahon ng pamumunga nito, wala siyang nakita kundi mga dahon. 14 Kaya't sinabi niya sa puno, “Mula ngayo'y wala nang makakakain pa ng bunga mula sa iyo.” Narinig iyon ng kanyang mga alagad.
Si Jesus sa Templo(D)
15 Pagdating nila sa Jerusalem, pumasok siya sa templo at sinimulan niyang itaboy ang mga nagbibili at ang mga namimili roon. Pinagtataob niya ang mga mesa ng mga nagpapalit ng salapi, pati na ang mga upuan ng mga nagbibili ng mga kalapati. 16 Hindi niya pinahintulutang makapasok sa templo ang sinumang may mga dalang paninda. 17 Tinuruan (E) niya ang mga tao at sinabi niya, “Hindi ba nasusulat,
‘Ang aking bahay ay tatawaging bahay-dalanginan ng lahat ng bansa?’
Ngunit ginawa ninyo itong ‘pugad ng mga magnanakaw!’ ”
18 Narinig ito ng mga punong pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Mula noon ay humanap na sila ng paraan upang maipapatay si Jesus. Natatakot sila sa kanya dahil maraming tao ang humahanga sa kanyang turo. 19 Pagsapit ng gabi, lumabas ng lungsod si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad.
Ang Aral mula sa Natuyo na Punong Igos(F)
20 Kinaumagahan, sa paglalakad nila ay nadaanan nilang muli ang punong igos. Nakita nilang natuyo ito mula sa ugat. 21 Naalala ni Pedro ang sinabi ni Jesus sa puno, kaya't sinabi niya kay Jesus, “Rabbi, tingnan ninyo! Natuyo ang punong igos na isinumpa ninyo!” 22 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanila, “Manalig kayo sa Diyos. 23 Katotohanan (G) ang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na sinumang magsabi sa bundok na ito, ‘Mabunot ka at maitapon sa dagat,’ mangyayari ang sinabi niya kung siya'y naniniwala at walang pag-aalinlangan sa puso. 24 Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, anuman ang hingin ninyo sa inyong panalangin, paniwalaan ninyong tinanggap na ninyo at mangyayari nga iyon sa inyo. 25 Kapag (H) kayo'y nakatayo at nananalangin at mayroon kayong sama ng loob sa sinuman, patawarin ninyo siya upang patawarin din kayo ng inyong Amang nasa langit sa inyong mga kasalanan. 26 [Ngunit kung hindi kayo magpapatawad, hindi rin kayo patatawarin ng inyong Amang nasa langit.]”[a]
Pag-aalinlangan sa Awtoridad ni Jesus(I)
27 Muli silang pumunta sa Jerusalem. Habang naglalakad si Jesus sa templo, lumapit sa kanya ang mga punong pari, ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, at ang matatandang pinuno. 28 Nagtanong sila sa kanya, “Ano ang kapangyarihan mong gawin ang mga ito? Sino ang nagbigay sa iyo ng kapangyarihang gawin ito?” 29 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Tatanungin ko rin kayo. Sagutin ninyo ako at sasabihin ko sa inyo kung sa anong kapangyarihan ko ginagawa ang mga ito. 30 Ang bautismo ni Juan, ito ba'y mula sa langit, o sa mga tao? Sagutin ninyo ako.” 31 Nag-usap-usap sila, “Kung sasabihin nating mula sa langit, itatanong niya sa atin kung bakit hindi tayo naniwala kay Juan. 32 Ngunit sasabihin ba nating mula sa mga tao?” Natatakot sila sa mga taong bayan sapagkat naniniwala silang lahat na si Juan ay tunay na propeta. 33 Kaya't sumagot sila kay Jesus, “Hindi namin alam.” Sinabi naman ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi ko rin sasabihin sa inyo kung saan nagmula ang kapangyarihan kong gawin ang mga ito.”

Mark 11
The Voice
Few people in the Gospels show as much persistence and eagerness in their desire to be healed as blind Bartimaeus. He is not about to be swayed from his efforts to attract Jesus’ attention. The discouragement from everyone around him only makes him shout louder, determined to get the attention of the healer he has heard about.
The blind man’s actions demonstrate his faith. Beggars in first-century Palestine would spread a cloak on the ground in front of them to collect donations from compassionate passersby. It probably isn’t much, but for Bartimaeus, his cloak is all he has. He throws it aside without a thought—probably along with the coins he collected that day—because he is certain that once he meets Jesus, he will not need to be a beggar anymore.
11 When they had gotten close to Jerusalem, near the two villages of Bethphage and Bethany and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of His followers ahead of them.
Jesus: 2 Go to that village over there. As soon as you get into the town, you’ll see a young colt tied that nobody has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it back to Me. 3 If anybody stops you and asks what you’re doing, just say, “The Lord needs it, and He will send it back right after He’s done.”
4 Everything happened just as Jesus had told them. They found the colt in the street tied near a door, and they untied it.
Bystanders: 5 What are you doing?
6 They answered as Jesus had instructed and were allowed to take it, 7 so they brought the colt back to Jesus, piled garments on its back to make a comfortable seat, and Jesus rode the animal toward Jerusalem. 8 As they traveled, people cast their cloaks onto the road and spread out leafy branches, which they had brought from the fields along the way. 9 People walked ahead of them, and others followed behind.
People (shouting): Hosanna! Rescue us now, Lord! Hosanna!
Blessed be the One who comes in the name of the Eternal One![a]
10 And blessed is the kingdom of our father David, which draws closer to us today!
Hosanna in the highest heavens!
Jesus enters Jerusalem, but this time He radically redefines the people’s every expectation. His descriptions to His disciples of where they will find the colt He is to ride and how they shall get it has an air of prophecy and supernatural knowledge. He rides a donkey instead of being carried into town on the backs of servants (in a litter as a conquering king would do), fulfilling the prophecy that the King will come riding a donkey (Zechariah 9:9). After all, donkeys are a poor man’s mount, and even in this triumphal entry, Jesus makes it clear He does not intend to conquer and rule in a worldly way. Now, for the first time, He allows the crowds to voice their excitement about who He is and all that He has been doing.
11 To the sound of this chanting, Jesus rode through the gates of Jerusalem and up to the temple. He looked around and saw that evening was coming, so He and the twelve went back to Bethany to spend the night.
12 The next morning, when they departed Bethany and were traveling back to the city, Jesus was hungry. 13 Off in the distance, He saw a fig tree fully leafed out, so He headed toward it to see if it might have any ripe fruit. But when He reached it, He found only leaves because the fig season had not yet come.
14 As the disciples listened, Jesus pronounced a curse on the tree.
Jesus: No one will ever eat fruit from your branches again.
This is the only time recorded in the Gospels when Jesus uses His supernatural power to destroy. The tree is “fully leafed out”—a stage that usually comes after figs are ripe and not before. Because the tree looks as though it ought to have fruit but doesn’t, it is a perfect illustration of people who believe they have the good fruit of righteousness even though their actions are void of true compassion and love, as empty and useless as leaves. And so Jesus curses the fig tree, not out of anger with the tree itself, but as a warning to hypocrites who think their appearance is more important than the fruit of their actions.
15 They continued into Jerusalem and made their way up to the temple.
Upon reaching the temple that morning, Jesus dealt with those who were selling and buying animals for sacrifices and drove them out of the area. He turned over the tables of those who exchanged money for the temple pilgrims and the seats of those selling birds, 16 and He physically prevented anyone from carrying anything through the temple.
Jesus (to those who were listening): 17 Didn’t the prophets write, “My house will be called a house of prayer, for all the people”[b]? But you have made it into a “haven for thieves.”[c]
At the temple, Jesus responds in shock to the scene before Him. He acts decisively and with great emotion against those who have turned God’s house into a place where pilgrims are exploited. He has a message and, like the prophets of old, this message is better seen than heard. Because the temple leadership has allowed profiteers and merchants to set up shop in the court of the Gentiles, they are making ridiculous profits. For the people who come long distances to worship, it is a normal practice to have merchants selling animals for the pilgrims to sacrifice. What is not normal and what is immoral is where and how they transact business. Jesus takes issue with robbers profiteering in His Father’s house.
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard these words and knew Jesus was referring to them, so they plotted His destruction. They had grown afraid of Him because His teachings struck the crowds into astonishment.
19 When evening came, [Jesus and His followers][d] left the city again. 20 The next morning on the way back to Jerusalem, they passed a tree that had withered down to its very roots.
Peter (remembering): 21 That’s the fig tree, Teacher, the one You cursed just yesterday morning. It’s withered away to nothing!
Jesus: 22 Trust in God. 23 If you do, honestly, you can say to this mountain, “Mountain, uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea.” If you don’t doubt, but trust that what you say will take place, then it will happen. 24 So listen to what I’m saying: Whatever you pray for or ask from God, believe that you’ll receive it and you will. 25 When you pray, if you remember anyone who has wronged you, forgive him so that God above can also forgive you. [26 If you don’t forgive others, don’t expect God’s forgiveness.][e]
27 As they arrived in Jerusalem and were walking in the temple, the chief priests, scribes, and elders came to Jesus 28 and asked Him a question.
Leaders: Tell us, who has given You the authority to say and do the things You’re saying and doing?
Jesus: 29 I will answer your question, if you will answer one for Me. Only then will I tell you who gives Me authority to do these things. 30 Tell Me, when John was ritually cleansing through baptism for the forgiveness of sins, was his authority from heaven or was it merely human?
31 The priests, scribes, and elders huddled together to think through an answer.
Leaders (to themselves): If we say, “It must have been from heaven,” then Jesus will have us. He’ll ask, “Then why didn’t you listen to him and follow him?” 32 But if we say, “John’s cleansing was only human,” the people will be up in arms because they think John was a prophet sent by God. 33 (responding to Jesus) We don’t know what to tell You.
Jesus: All right, then don’t expect Me to tell you where I get the authority to say and do these things.

Mark 11
New International Version
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany(C) at the Mount of Olives,(D) Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden.(E) Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’”
4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.(F) As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna![a]”
10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”(H)
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.(I)
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts(J)(K)(L)
12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.(M) 14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’[c]?(N) But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d]”(O)
18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him,(P) because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.(Q)
19 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples[e] went out of the city.(R)
20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(S) look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[f] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.(T) 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.(U) 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”(V) [26] [g]
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(W)
27 They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him. 28 “By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”
29 Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”
31 They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …” (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)(X)
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
