Mark 11:1–20

And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

²And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him.

³And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither.

⁴And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him.

⁵And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

⁶Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go with them.

⁷And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on him: and he sat upon him.

⁸And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way.

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

¹⁰Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.

¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.

¹²And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry.

¹³And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs.

¹⁴And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever! And his disciples heard it.

¹⁵And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them that sold doves.

¹⁶And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

¹⁷And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written: My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations, but you have made it a den of thieves.

¹⁸Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.

¹⁹And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.

²⁰And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
