MARK Chapter 11

Mark 11

Display of ROYAL entry of Jesus into Jerusalem

[from Jericho through Bethphage, to Bethany, to mount-Olives, up to Jerusalem]

1 And when they are approaching unto Bethphage (fig-house) and Bethany (date-house) towards mount olives, unto Jerusalem, He sends two of His disciples,

2. and tells them, go away into the village directly opposite you, and immediately, you enter into it, you will find a young ass, tied up by a man, upon which no-man certainly has seated. Untie it, and bring it. 

3 and in case, any man asks you again, why are you doing this? Say, the Lord has need of it, and immediately he will send it here. 

4 and they departs, and find the ass tied outside towards a door, over the junction, and they untie it.

5 and some of those standing there, tell them, why do you loosen the young ass?

6 So, they speak, just as Jesus has said, and they are allowed.

7 and they brought the young ass towards Jesus, and they throw their robes upon it, and He sits down upon it;

8 and many people spread their robes upon the road, others also cut off stacks of loose bough of trees from the field.

9 and those going before Him and those following Him are crying out, oh save! (hossana)! Blessed is the One coming in the Name of the SUPREME God! (Ps 118:26)

10 Blessed is the One coming to the kingdom of our father, David! by instrumentality of the Most High/Highest, Hoshiana!

11 and He enters into the temple in Jerusalem; and at the late hour of the day, He looked into all things around, and proceeds forth unto Bethany, even now with the twelve.

Satan was cursed for ages for influencing a Fig-tree not to miraculously produce fruits for Jesus - the Adonay.

12 and upon the (morning of) next day, He proceeds forth out of Bethany, and they were hungry.

13 and as He was going, (Ara) lifting a heartfelt call to heaven, He stares at a fig tree from afar, having leaves: if something will be found in it. But, having come upon it, He finds nothing, except leaves, for, it is not the time (season) of fig-trees.

14 and in responding, He says to it, no man will eat from you, any longer unto AGES , And His disciples heard Him.

Jesus demonstrates and enforces decorum in Jerusalem temple

15 and as He came unto Jerusalem; He entered into the temple, and begins to drive out those selling and buying in the temple; and turn the tables of coins dealers (collybists) upside down and the benches of those selling pigeons.

16 And does not allow, at least anyone to carry equipment through the temple.

17 and He taught them, and says, is it not written, that My house will be called, the house of prayer of all nations? (Is 56:7). But, you have made it, a cave/resort of thieves. (Jer 7:11).

18 and the Chief Priests and the Scribes heard it and seek how to fully-destroy Him; no doubt, they feared Him, for all the crowd are amazed upon His teachings.

19 and when it becomes evening, they proceeds out of the town.

Jesus teaches His disciples, how to put God's kind of faith to work, after the fig tree, cursed the previous day, has withered. 

20. And as they are passing by, at dawn, they see the fig tree, dried up from the ROOT.

21 And Peter remembered, telling Him, Rabbi, look at the fig tree which you cursed, it has dried up.

22 and Jesus answered and told them, hold on to things of GOD by FAITH.

23 I tell you, and so shall it be, for, whoever possibly have faith and does not distinguish/dissect through, in his heart, on Those things that I have been preaching, and you say on the contrary,  to a MOUNTAIN, to be lifted up and be thrown down into the sea; it will happen unto you. (Matt 17:20, 21:21)

24 so, by that reason, I tell you, even as long as you have faith, everything that you ask by making prayer; you will receive.

Pray with free-heart that has forgiven everybody. 

25. And whenever you are making prayer, if you have anything against anyone, stand firm at least to let go,  even as your FATHER Who is in heavens, forgive you your trespasses (side slip).

26.+ however, if you do not let-go, not even your FATHER, Who is in heaven, will let go of your trespasses (lapses).+

Jesus was questioned about the source of His power

27 and He comes again unto Jerusalem. And as He walked around in the temple, the Sahendrists and the Scribes and the Chief priests come towards Him.

28 and ask Him, in what authority are these things done? Or, who give you this authority, at least, for these things that you do?

29 and Jesus tells them, I will ask you one word, so, answer Me, and I will tell you, in what kind of authority, I do these things.

30 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer Me.

31 and they reason towards themselves, saying, (what shall we say?) In case we say, from heaven, (He would) say, then, because of why did you not believe him?

32 but (should we) say, from men, they fear the people; for, all the people really hold on to John, that he is a Prophet.

33 And they answered Jesus, and say, we are not aware. And Jesus tells them, even I will not tell you in what kind of authority, I do these these things.
