Mar 11:2

Mar 11:3

Mar 11:3And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.

Mar 11:4

Mar 11:4And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.

Mar 11:10

Mar 11:15And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

Mar 11:16

Mar 11:16and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

Mar 11:17

Mar 11:18

Mar 11:18And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

Mar 11:19

Mar 11:19And every evening he went forth out of the city.

(Mat 21:20–22 )

Mar 11:20And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

Mar 11:21

Mar 11:22

Mar 11:22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Mar 11:23

Mar 11:23Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.

Mar 11:24

Mar 11:24Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Mar 11:25

Mar 11:25And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Mar 11:28

Mar 11:28and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

Mar 11:29

Mar 11:29And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Mar 11:31

Mar 11:31And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

Mar 11:32

Mar 11:32But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

Mar 11:33

Mar 11:33And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
