Mar 11:2

Mar 11:2And 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.

Mar 11:3

Mar 11:3And 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.

Mar 11:4

Mar 11:4And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

Mar 11:5

Mar 11:5And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

Mar 11:6

Mar 11:6And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

Mar 11:7

Mar 11:7And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

Mar 11:9And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

Mar 11:10

Mar 11:10Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

Mar 11:11

Mar 11:11And 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.

(Mat 21:18, 19 )

Mar 11:12

Mar 11:12And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

Mar 11:13

Mar 11:13And 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.

Mar 11:14

Mar 11:14And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Mar 11:17

Mar 11:17And 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.

Mar 11:18

Mar 11:18And 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.

Mar 11:19

Mar 11:19And when even was come, he went out of the city.

(Mat 21:20–22 )

Mar 11:20

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

Mar 11:21

Mar 11:21And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

Mar 11:22

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

Mar 11:23

Mar 11:23For 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.

Mar 11:24

Mar 11:24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

(Mat 6:14, 15 )

Mar 11:25

Mar 11:25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Mar 11:26

Mar 11:26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Mar 11:28

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

Mar 11:29

Mar 11:29And 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.

Mar 11:33And 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.
