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.

Mark 11
New Matthew Bible
Christ rides into Jerusalem. The fig tree dries up. The buyers and sellers are cast out of the temple. The Pharisees question Christ.
11 And when they came near Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany beside the Mount of Olives, he sent forth two of his disciples 2 and said to them, Go your ways into the town that is in front of you. And as soon as you have entered into it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Untie him and bring him here. 3 And if anyone asks you why you are doing this, say that the Lord has need of him, and straightaway he will send him here.
4 And they went their way and found a colt tied by the door outside, in a place where two roads met, and they untied him. 5 And some of the people standing there said to them, What are you doing, untying the colt? 6 And they answered just as Jesus had instructed, and the people let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on it, and he sat upon it. 8 And many spread their garments in the way. Others cut down branches of the trees and strew them in the way. 9 And those who went before, and those who followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is the kingdom that comes in the name of him who is Lord of our father David: Hosanna in the highest!
11 And the Lord entered into Jerusalem and into the temple. And when he had looked round about upon everything, and now that evening time was come, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 And on the morrow, when they had left Bethany, he hungered. 13 And afar off he spotted a fig tree in leaf, and went to see whether he might find anything on it. But when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus spoke and said to it, Never may man eat fruit from you hereafter while the world stands. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they came to Jerusalem. And Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out the sellers and buyers in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the stools of those who sold doves, 16 and would not suffer anyone to carry a vessel through the temple. 17 And he taught, saying to them, Is it not written: My house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves! 18 And the scribes and high priests heard this, and sought how to destroy him. For they feared him, because all the people marvelled at his doctrine.
19 And when evening came, 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 remembered and said to him, Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered away.
22 And Jesus answered and said to them, Have confidence in God. 23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, Take yourself away and cast yourself into the sea, and who does not waver in his heart, but believes that those things which he says will come to pass – whatever he says will be done for him. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you will have it, and it will be done for you. 25 And when you stand and pray, forgive, if you have anything against any person, so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he walked in the temple, there came to him the high priests and the scribes and the elders, 28 and they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority, to do these things? 29 Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask of you a certain thing. 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 They thought in themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him? 32 But if we say of men, then we fear the people. (For everyone counted John to be a very prophet.) 33 And they answered and said to Jesus, We don’t know. And Jesus answered and said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark 11
Authorized (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.
