Marcos 11
Reina Valera Revisada
La entrada mesiánica en Jerusalén
11 Cuando se acercaban a Jerusalén, por Betfagé y Betania, frente al monte de los Olivos, envía a dos de sus discípulos,
2 y les dice: Id a la aldea de enfrente de vosotros, y tan pronto como entréis en ella, encontraréis un pollino atado, sobre el cual todavía no se sentó ningún hombre; desatadlo y traedlo.
3 Y si alguien os dice: ¿Por qué estáis haciendo eso?, decid: El Señor lo necesita, y en seguida lo envía de nuevo acá.
4 Se fueron y encontraron un pollino atado frente a una puerta, afuera, en plena calle; entonces lo desatan.
5 Algunos de los que estaban allí les decían: ¿Qué hacéis, desatando el pollino?
6 Ellos les dijeron tal como Jesús les había dicho, y les dejaron marchar.
7 Traen el pollino ante Jesús, y echan sobre él sus mantos; y se sentó sobre él.
8 Y muchos extendieron sus mantos en el camino; y otros, ramas que habían cortado de los árboles las tendían por el camino.
9 Y tanto los que iban delante, como los que seguían detrás, iban gritando: ¡Hosanná! ¡Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor!
10 ¡Bendito el reino venidero de nuestro padre David! ¡Hosanná en las alturas!
11 Entró en Jerusalén, al templo; y después de mirar todo alrededor, como ya la hora era avanzada, salió para Betania con los doce.
Maldición a la higuera estéril
12 Al día siguiente, cuando salieron de Betania, tuvo hambre.
13 Y viendo desde lejos una higuera que tenía hojas, fue por si quizás encontraba algo en ella, y al llegar cerca de ella, no encontró nada sino hojas, porque no era tiempo de higos.
14 Entonces le dirigió la palabra, diciendo: Que nadie vuelva a comer jamás fruto de ti. Y sus discípulos estaban escuchando.
Purificación del templo
15 Llegan a Jerusalén; y entrando Jesús en el templo, comenzó a echar fuera a los que vendían y a los que compraban en el templo; volcó las mesas de los cambistas, y los asientos de los que vendían las palomas;
16 y no permitía que nadie transportase mercancías pasando por el templo.
17 Y les enseñaba y les decía: ¿No está escrito: Mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todas las naciones? Pero vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.
18 Lo oyeron los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y buscaban cómo destruirle, pues le tenían miedo, porque toda la multitud estaba asombrada de su enseñanza.
19 Cuando cayó la tarde, salieron fuera de la ciudad.
La higuera seca y el poder de la fe
20 Cuando pasaban de camino, muy de mañana, vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces.
21 Entonces Pedro, acordándose, le dice: Rabí, mira, la higuera que maldijiste se ha secado.
22 Respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tened fe en Dios.
23 En verdad os digo que cualquiera que le diga a este monte: Sé quitado de ahí y arrojado al mar; y no dude en su corazón, sino que crea que lo que está hablando sucede, lo tendrá.
24 Por eso os digo que todo cuanto rogáis y pedís, creed que lo estáis recibiendo, y lo tendréis.
25 Y siempre que os pongáis de pie a orar, perdonad, si tenéis algo contra alguien, para que también vuestro Padre, el que está en los cielos, os perdone vuestras transgresiones.
26 [Pero si vosotros no perdonáis, tampoco vuestro Padre, el que está en los cielos, perdonará vuestras transgresiones.][a]
La autoridad de Jesucristo
27 Llegan de nuevo a Jerusalén; y mientras él anda por el templo, se le acercan los principales sacerdotes, los escribas y los ancianos;
28 y le dicen: ¿Con cuál autoridad estás haciendo estas cosas?, o ¿quién te dio tal autoridad para hacer estas cosas?
29 Jesús les dijo: Os preguntaré una sola cosa; respondedme, y os diré con cuál autoridad estoy haciendo estas cosas:
30 El bautismo de Juan ¿provenía del cielo o de los hombres? Respondedme.
31 Entonces se pusieron a debatir entre ellos mismos, diciendo: Si decimos: Del cielo, dirá: Entonces ¿por qué no le creísteis?
32 Pero ¿vamos a decir: De los hombres...? Temían a la multitud, porque todos a una tenían a Juan como que realmente era un profeta.
33 Entonces, respondiendo a Jesús, dicen: No sabemos. Y Jesús les dice: Tampoco yo os digo con cuál autoridad estoy haciendo estas cosas.

Mark 11
Living Bible
11 As they neared Bethphage and Bethany on the outskirts of Jerusalem and came to the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead.
2 “Go into that village over there,” he told them, “and just as you enter you will see a colt tied up that has never been ridden. Untie him and bring him here. 3 And if anyone asks you what you are doing, just say, ‘Our Master needs him and will return him soon.’”
4-5 Off went the two men and found the colt standing in the street, tied outside a house. As they were untying it, some who were standing there demanded, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
6 So they said what Jesus had told them to, and then the men agreed.
7 So the colt was brought to Jesus, and the disciples threw their cloaks across its back for him to ride on. 8 Then many in the crowd spread out their coats along the road before him, while others threw down leafy branches from the fields.
9 He was in the center of the procession with crowds ahead and behind, and all of them shouting, “Hail to the King!” “Praise God for him who comes in the name of the Lord!” . . . 10 “Praise God for the return of our father David’s kingdom. . . . ” “Hail to the King of the universe!”
11 And so he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple. He looked around carefully at everything and then left—for now it was late in the afternoon—and went out to Bethany with the twelve disciples.
12 The next morning as they left Bethany, he felt hungry. 13 A little way off he noticed a fig tree in full leaf, so he went over to see if he could find any figs on it. But no, there were only leaves, for it was too early in the season for fruit.
14 Then Jesus said to the tree, “You shall never bear fruit again!” And the disciples heard him say it.
15 When they arrived back in Jerusalem, he went to the Temple and began to drive out the merchants and their customers, and knocked over the tables of the money changers and the stalls of those selling doves, 16 and stopped everyone from bringing in loads of merchandise.
17 He told them, “It is written in the Scriptures, ‘My Temple is to be a place of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a den of robbers.”
18 When the chief priests and other Jewish leaders heard what he had done, they began planning how best to get rid of him. Their problem was their fear of riots because the people were so enthusiastic about Jesus’ teaching.
19 That evening as usual they left the city.
20 Next morning, as the disciples passed the fig tree he had cursed, they saw that it was withered from the roots! 21 Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, “Look, Teacher! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22-23 In reply Jesus said to the disciples, “If you only have faith in God—this is the absolute truth—you can say to this Mount of Olives, ‘Rise up and fall into the Mediterranean,’ and your command will be obeyed. All that’s required is that you really believe and have no doubt! 24
26-28 [a]By this time they had arrived in Jerusalem again, and as he was walking through the Temple area, the chief priests and other Jewish leaders came up to him demanding, “What’s going on here? Who gave you the authority to drive out the merchants?”
29 Jesus replied, “I’ll tell you if you answer one question! 30 What about John the Baptist? Was he sent by God, or not? Answer me!”
31 They talked it over among themselves. “If we reply that God sent him, then he will say, ‘All right, why didn’t you accept him?’ 32 But if we say God didn’t send him, then the people will start a riot.” (For the people all believed strongly that John was a prophet.)
33 So they said, “We can’t answer. We don’t know.”
To which Jesus replied, “Then I won’t answer your question either!”

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.”
