Mark 11

1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples

1 耶穌和門徒將近耶路撒冷，到了伯法其和伯大尼，在橄欖山那裏；耶穌就打發兩個門徒，

2 and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

2 對他們說：「你們往對面村子裏去，一進去的時候，必看見一匹驢駒拴在那裏，是從來沒有人騎過的，可以解開，牽來。

3 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”

3 若有人對你們說：『為甚麼做這事？』你們就說：『主要用牠。 』那人必立時讓你們牽來。」

4 So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,

4 他們去了，便看見一匹驢駒拴在門外街道上，就把牠解開。

5 and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”

5 在那裏站着的人，有幾個說：「你們解驢駒做甚麼？」

6 The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.

6 門徒照着耶穌所說的回答，那些人就任憑他們牽去了。

7 Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.

7 他們把驢駒牽到耶穌那裏，把自己的衣服搭在上面，耶穌就騎上。

8 Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.

8 有許多人把衣服鋪在路上，也有人把田間的樹枝砍下來，鋪在路上。

9 The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

9 前行後隨的人都喊着說： 和散那 ！ 奉主名來的是應當稱頌的！

10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

10 那將要來的我祖大衛之國是應當稱頌的！ 高高在上和散那！

11 Then Jesus 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.

11 耶穌進了耶路撒冷，入了聖殿，周圍看了各樣物件。天色已晚，就和十二個門徒出城，往伯大尼去了。

12 The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

12 第二天，他們從伯大尼出來，耶穌餓了。

13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.

13 遠遠地看見一棵無花果樹，樹上有葉子，就往那裏去，或者在樹上可以找着甚麼。到了樹下，竟找不着甚麼，不過有葉子，因為不是收無花果的時候。

14 Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.

14 耶穌就對樹說：「從今以後，永沒有人吃你的果子。」他的門徒也聽見了。

15 When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

15 他們來到耶路撒冷。耶穌進入聖殿，趕出殿裏做買賣的人，推倒兌換銀錢之人的桌子和賣鴿子之人的凳子；

16 And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.

16 也不許人拿着器具從殿裏經過；

17 Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

17 便教訓他們說：「經上不是記着說： 我的殿必稱為萬國禱告的殿嗎？ 你們倒使它 成為賊窩了。」

18 When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

18 祭司長和文士聽見這話，就想法子要除滅耶穌，卻又怕他，因為眾人都希奇他的教訓。

19 And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.

19 每天晚上，耶穌出城去。

20 As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.

20 早晨，他們從那裏經過，看見無花果樹連根都枯乾了。

21 Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”

21 彼得想起耶穌的話來，就對他說：「拉比，請看！你所咒詛的無花果樹已經枯乾了。」

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.

22 耶穌回答說：「你們當信服上帝。

23 “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.

23 我實在告訴你們，無論何人對這座山說：『你挪開此地，投在海裏！』他若心裏不疑惑，只信他所說的必成，就必給他成了。

24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

24 所以我告訴你們，凡你們禱告祈求的，無論是甚麼，只要信是得着的，就必得着。

25 And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”

25 你們站着禱告的時候，若想起有人得罪你們，就當饒恕他，好叫你們在天上的父也饒恕你們的過犯。

26

26 你們若不饒恕人，你們在天上的父也不饒恕你們的過犯。 」

27 After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.

27 他們又來到耶路撒冷。耶穌在殿裏行走的時候，祭司長和文士並長老進前來，

28 “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”

28 問他說：「你仗着甚麼權柄做這些事？給你這權柄的是誰呢？」

29 “I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

29 耶穌對他們說：「我要問你們一句話，你們回答我，我就告訴你們我仗着甚麼權柄做這些事。

30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”

30 約翰的洗禮是從天上來的？是從人間來的呢？你們可以回答我。」

31 They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

31 他們彼此商議說：「我們若說『從天上來』，他必說：『這樣，你們為甚麼不信他呢？』

32 But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.

32 若說『從人間來』，卻又怕百姓，因為眾人真以約翰為先知。」

33 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

33 於是回答耶穌說：「我們不知道。」耶穌說：「我也不告訴你們我仗着甚麼權柄做這些事。」
