Mark 11:15–33

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.

²¹And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree which thou didst curse is withered away.

²²And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God.

²³Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.

²⁴Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you.

²⁵And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins.

²⁶But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in heaven forgive you your sins.

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

²⁸And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?

²⁹And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word. And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.

³¹But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

³²If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

³³And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
