Mark 11:1–20

And ^awhen they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and ^bBethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 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 ^ca colt tied, ^dwhereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 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. 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. ⁵And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? ⁶And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. ^7eAnd they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. ⁸And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. ⁹And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; ^fBlessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: ¹⁰Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. ^11gAnd 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 ^bBethany with the twelve.

^12hAnd on the morrow, when they were come from ^bBethany, he was hungry: ¹³and seeing a ⁱfig 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. ¹⁴And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. ^jAnd his disciples heard it.

^15kAnd 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 money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves; ¹⁶and would not suffer that any man should carry any ^lvessel through the temple. ¹⁷And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, ^mMy house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it ⁿa den of thieves. ^18oAnd the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because ^pall the people was astonished at his doctrine. ¹⁹And when even was come, he went out of the city.

^20qAnd in the morning, as they passed by, they saw ^rthe fig tree dried up from the roots.
