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.”

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Matagumpay na Pagpasok ni Jesus sa Jerusalem(A)
11 Nang malapit na sina Jesus sa Jerusalem, tumigil sila sa Bundok ng mga Olibo malapit sa mga nayon ng Betfage at Betania.[a] Pinauna ni Jesus ang dalawa niyang tagasunod. 2 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pumunta kayo sa susunod na nayon. Pagpasok nʼyo roon, makikita ninyo ang isang batang asno na nakatali, na hindi pa nasasakyan ng kahit sino. Kalagan ninyo at dalhin dito. 3 Kapag may nagtanong kung bakit ninyo kinakalagan ang asno, sabihin ninyong kailangan ng Panginoon at ibabalik din agad.” 4 Kaya lumakad ang dalawa, at nakita nga nila ang asno sa tabi ng daan, na nakatali sa pintuan ng isang bahay. Nang kinakalagan na nila ang asno, 5 tinanong sila ng mga taong nakatayo roon, “Hoy! Ano ang ginagawa ninyo riyan? Bakit ninyo kinakalagan ang asno?” 6 Sinabi nila ang ipinapasabi ni Jesus, kaya pinabayaan na sila ng mga tao. 7 Dinala nila ang asno kay Jesus. Sinapinan nila ng kanilang mga balabal ang likod ng asno at sinakyan ito ni Jesus. 8 Maraming tao ang naglatag ng mga balabal nila sa daan, at ang iba naman ay naglatag ng mga sangang pinutol nila sa bukid. 9 Ang mga nauuna kay Jesus at ang mga sumusunod sa kanya ay sumisigaw, “Purihin ang Dios! Pagpalain ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon![b] 10 Pagpalain nawa ng Dios ang dumarating na kaharian ng ninuno nating si David. Purihin natin ang Dios!”
11 Pagdating ni Jesus sa Jerusalem, pumunta siya sa templo. Pinagmasdan niyang mabuti ang lahat ng bagay doon. At dahil sa gumagabi na, pumunta siya sa Betania kasama ang kanyang 12 apostol.
Isinumpa ni Jesus ang Puno ng Igos(B)
12 Kinabukasan, nang umalis sila sa Betania pabalik sa Jerusalem, nagutom si Jesus. 13 May nakita siyang isang madahong puno ng igos. Kaya nilapitan niya ito at tiningnan kung may bunga. Pero wala siyang nakita kundi mga dahon, dahil hindi pa panahon ng mga igos noon. 14 Sinabi ni Jesus sa puno, “Mula ngayon, wala nang makakakain ng bunga mo.” Narinig iyon ng mga tagasunod niya.
Ang Pagmamalasakit ni Jesus sa Templo(C)
15 Pagdating nila sa Jerusalem, pumasok si Jesus sa templo at itinaboy niya ang mga nagtitinda at namimili roon. Itinaob niya ang mga mesa ng mga nagpapalit ng pera at ang mga upuan ng mga nagtitinda ng mga kalapating inihahandog sa templo. 16 Pinagbawalan niya ang mga taong may paninda na dumaan sa templo. 17 Pagkatapos, pinangaralan niya ang mga tao roon. Sinabi niya, “Hindi baʼt sinasabi ng Dios sa Kasulatan, ‘Ang aking bahay ay magiging bahay-panalanginan ng lahat ng bansa’?[c] Ngunit ginawa ninyong pugad ng mga tulisan.”[d]
18 Nabalitaan ng mga namamahalang pari at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan ang ginawa ni Jesus. Kaya humanap sila ng paraan upang mapatay siya. Pero natatakot sila sa kanya dahil hangang-hanga ang mga tao sa kanyang mga turo.
19 Kinagabihan, umalis si Jesus sa Jerusalem kasama ang mga tagasunod niya.
Ang Aral Mula sa Namatay na Puno ng Igos(D)
20 Kinaumagahan, nang pabalik na silang muli sa Jerusalem, nadaanan nila ang puno ng igos at nakita nilang tuyong-tuyo na ito hanggang sa ugat. 21 Naalala ni Pedro ang nangyari. Kaya sinabi niya, “Guro, tingnan nʼyo po ang puno ng igos na isinumpa ninyo. Natuyo na!” 22 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sumampalataya kayo sa Dios! 23 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, kung may pananampalataya kayo, maaari ninyong sabihin sa bundok na ito, ‘Lumipat ka sa dagat!’ At kung hindi kayo nag-aalinlangan kundi nananampalatayang mangyayari iyon, mangyayari nga ang sinabi ninyo. 24 Kaya tandaan ninyo: anuman ang hilingin ninyo sa Dios sa panalangin, manampalataya kayong natanggap na ninyo ito, at matatanggap nga ninyo. 25 At kapag nananalangin kayo, patawarin nʼyo muna ang mga nagkasala sa inyo para ang mga kasalanan ninyo ay patawarin din ng inyong Amang nasa langit. 26 [Sapagkat kung ayaw ninyong magpatawad, hindi rin kayo patatawarin ng inyong Amang nasa langit.]”
Ang Tanong tungkol sa Awtoridad ni Jesus(E)
27 Pagdating nila sa Jerusalem, bumalik si Jesus sa templo. At habang naglalakad siya roon, lumapit sa kanya ang mga namamahalang pari, mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan, at mga pinuno ng mga Judio. 28 Tinanong nila si Jesus, “Ano ang awtoridad mo na gumawa ng mga bagay na ito?[e] Sino ang nagbigay sa iyo ng awtoridad na iyan?” 29 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Tatanungin ko rin kayo. At kapag sinagot ninyo, sasabihin ko kung ano ang awtoridad ko na gumawa ng mga bagay na ito. 30 Kanino galing ang awtoridad ni Juan para magbautismo, sa Dios[f] o sa tao? Sagutin ninyo ako!” 31 Nag-usap-usap sila, “Kung sasabihin nating mula sa Dios, sasabihin niya, ‘Bakit hindi kayo naniwala kay Juan?’ 32 Pero kung sasabihin nating mula sa tao, magagalit sa atin ang mga tao.” (Takot sila sa mga tao dahil naniniwala ang mga tao na si Juan ay propeta ng Dios.) 33 Kaya sumagot sila, “Hindi namin alam.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kung ganoon, hindi ko rin sasabihin sa inyo kung saan nagmula ang awtoridad ko na gumawa ng mga bagay na ito.”

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.”

The Triumphal Entry
11 (A)Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to (B)Bethphage and Bethany, at (C)the Mount of Olives, Jesus[a] sent (D)two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, (E)on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. 5 And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. 8 And many (F)spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. 9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, (G)“Hosanna! (H)Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 10 Blessed is (I)the coming (J)kingdom of (K)our father (L)David! (M)Hosanna (N)in the highest!”
11 (O)And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, (P)he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
12 (Q)On the following day, when they came from Bethany, (R)he was hungry. 13 (S)And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for (T)it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
15 (U)And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of (V)the money-changers and the seats of those who sold (W)pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, (X)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But (Y)you have made it a den of robbers.” 18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and (Z)were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because (AA)all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 (AB)And when evening came they[b] went out of the city.
The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree
20 (AC)As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, (AD)“Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have (AE)faith in God. 23 (AF)Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, (AG)‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not (AH)doubt in his heart, but (AI)believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, (AJ)whatever you ask in prayer, (AK)believe that you (AL)have received[c] it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever (AM)you stand praying, (AN)forgive, (AO)if you have anything against anyone, so that (AP)your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”[d]
The Authority of Jesus Challenged
27 (AQ)And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, (AR)“By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John (AS)from heaven or from man? Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, (AT)‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—(AU)they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was (AV)a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
