Mark 11:1-14 (NASB) 1 As they *approached Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, He *sent two of His disciples, 2 and said to them, \u201cGo into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone says to you, \u2018Why are you doing this?\u2019 you say, \u2018The Lord has need of it\u2019; and immediately he will send it back here.\u201d 4 They went away and found a colt tied at the door, outside in the street; and they untied it. 5 Some of the bystanders were saying to them, \u201cWhat are you doing, untying the colt?\u201d 6 They spoke to them just as Jesus had told them, and they gave them permission. 7 They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it; and He sat on it. 8 And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut from the fields. 9 Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting:
\u201cHosanna!
BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David;
Hosanna in the highest!\u201d
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking around at everything, He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.
12 On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry. 13 Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 He said to it, \u201cMay no one ever eat fruit from you again!\u201d And His disciples were listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark 11:15-26 (NASB) 15 Then they *came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves; 16 and He would not permit anyone to carry merchandise through the temple. 17 And He began to teach and say to them, \u201cIs it not written, \u2018MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE NATIONS\u2019? But you have made it a ROBBERS\u2019 DEN.\u201d 18 The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and began seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19 When evening came, they would go out of the city.
20 As they were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. 21 Being reminded, Peter *said to Him, \u201cRabbi, look, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.\u201d 22 And Jesus *answered saying to them, \u201cHave faith in God. 23 Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, \u2018Be taken up and cast into the sea,\u2019 and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. 24 Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. 25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. 26 [ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark 11:27-33 (NASB) 27 They *came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders *came to Him, 28 and began saying to Him, \u201cBy what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?\u201d 29 And Jesus said to them, \u201cI will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me.\u201d 31 They began reasoning among themselves, saying, \u201cIf we say, \u2018From heaven,\u2019 He will say, \u2018Then why did you not believe him?\u2019 32 But shall we say, \u2018From men\u2019?\u201d\u2014they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet. 33 Answering Jesus, they *said, \u201cWe do not know.\u201d And Jesus *said to them, \u201cNor will I tell you by what authority I do these things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20 Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, \u201cHow did the fig tree wither all at once?\u201d 21 And Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cTruly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, \u2018Be taken up and cast into the sea,\u2019 it will happen. 22 And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
