Mark 11
11
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King
1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.’ ”
4They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, 5some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,
“Hosanna!#11:9 A Hebrew expression meaning “Save!” which became an exclamation of praise; also in verse 10”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”#11:9 Psalm 118:25,26
10“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
11Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree and Clears the Temple Courts
12The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
15On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’#11:17 Isaiah 56:7? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’#11:17 Jer. 7:11”
18The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.
19When evening came, Jesus and his disciples#11:19 Some early manuscripts came, Jesus went out of the city.
20In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23“Truly#11:22,23 Some early manuscripts “If you have faith in God,” Jesus answered, 23 “truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” [26]#11:26 Some manuscripts include here words similar to Matt. 6:15.
The Authority of Jesus Questioned
27They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him. 28“By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you authority to do this?”
29Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 30John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”
31They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 32But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …” (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)
33So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

馬可福音 11
11
騎驢進耶路撒冷(太21:1~9;路19:28~38;約12:12~15)
1他們走近耶路撒冷,到了伯法其和伯大尼,來到橄欖山那裡,耶穌派了兩個門徒,2對他們說:“你們往對面的村子裡去,一進去,就會看見一頭小驢拴在那裡,是沒有人騎過的,把牠解開牽來。3如果有人問你們:‘為甚麼這樣作?’你們就說:‘主需要牠,並且很快會送還到這裡來。’”4門徒去了,就發現一頭小驢,拴在門外的街上,就把牠解開。5站在那裡的人有的問他們說:“你們為甚麼解牠?”6門徒照著耶穌所說的話回答他們,那些人就讓他們牽走了。7門徒把小驢牽到耶穌那裡,把自己的衣服搭在上面,耶穌就騎了上去。8許多人把衣服鋪在路上,還有人從田野裡砍了些樹枝也鋪在路上。9前行後隨的人都喊著說:
“‘和散那’,
奉主名來的是應當稱頌的!
10那將要來臨的,
我們祖先大衛的國是應當稱頌的!
高天之上當唱‘和散那’!”
11耶穌到了耶路撒冷,進入聖殿,察看了一切,因為時候已經不早,就和十二門徒出城往伯大尼去。
咒詛無花果樹(太21:18~19)
12第二天他們從伯大尼出來,耶穌餓了。13他遠遠看見一棵長滿了葉子的無花果樹,就走過去,看看是否可以在樹上找到甚麼。到了樹下,除了葉子甚麼也找不著,因為這不是收無花果的時候。14耶穌對樹說:“永遠再沒有人吃你的果子了!”他的門徒也聽見了。
潔淨聖殿(太21:12~17、20~22;路19:45~47;約2:13~16)
15他們來到耶路撒冷。耶穌進了聖殿,就把殿裡作買賣的人趕走,又推倒找換銀錢的人的桌子,和賣鴿子的人的凳子;16不許人拿著器皿穿過聖殿。17他又教訓眾人說:“經上不是寫著
‘我的殿要稱為萬國禱告的殿’嗎?
你們竟把它弄成賊窩了。”
18祭司長和經學家聽見了,就想辦法怎樣除掉耶穌,卻又怕他,因為群眾都希奇他的教訓。19到了晚上,他們就到城外去。
20早晨,他們經過的時候,看見那棵無花果樹連根都枯萎了。21彼得想起來就對耶穌說:“拉比,請看,你所咒詛的無花果樹,已經枯萎了。”22耶穌回答他們:“你們對 神要有信心#“你們對 神要有信心”有些抄本作“如果你們對 神有信心”。23我實在告訴你們,無論甚麼人對這座山說‘移開,投到海裡’,只要他心裡不懷疑,相信他所說的一定能夠成就,就必給他成就。24所以我告訴你們,凡是你們禱告祈求的,只要相信能夠得到,就必得到。25你們站著禱告的時候,如果有誰得罪了你們,就該饒恕他,好使你們的天父也饒恕你們的過犯。”#有些抄本有第26節:“如果你們不饒恕人,你們的天父也必不饒恕你們的過犯。”
質問耶穌憑甚麼權柄作事(太21:23~27;路20:1~8)
27他們又來到耶路撒冷。耶穌在殿裡行走的時候,祭司長、經學家和長老來到他跟前,28問他:“你憑甚麼權柄作這些事?誰給你權柄作這些事?”29耶穌對他們說:“我要問你們一句話,你們回答了我,我就告訴你們我憑甚麼權柄作這些事。30約翰的洗禮是從天上來的,還是從人來的呢?你們回答我吧。”31他們就彼此議論:“如果我們說‘是從天上來的’,他就會說‘那你們為甚麼不信他呢?’32如果我們說‘是從人來的’……”他們害怕群眾,因為眾人都認為約翰的確是先知。33於是他們回答耶穌:“我們不知道。”耶穌對他們說:“我也不告訴你們我憑甚麼權柄作這些事。”
