Mark 11 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 As they approached Jerusalem, near to Bethphage and Bethany, beside the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on ahead.
1 Y COMO fueron cerca de Jerusalem, de Bethphagé, y de Bethania, al monte de las Olivas, envía dos de sus discípulos,
2 He told them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter, you'll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden before. Untie it and bring it here.
2 Y les dice: Id al lugar que [está] delante de vosotros, y luego entrados en él, hallaréis un pollino atado, sobre el cual ningún hombre ha subido; desatadlo y traedlo.
3 If anyone asks you what you are doing, tell them, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back soon.’”
3 Y si alguien os dijere: ¿Por qué hacéis eso? decid que el Señor lo ha menester: y luego lo enviará acá.
4 So they set off, and found a colt tied to a door, out on the street, and they untied it.
4 Y fueron, y hallaron el pollino atado á la puerta fuera, entre dos caminos; y le desataron.
5 Some of the people standing around asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt”?
5 Y unos de los que estaban allí, les dijeron: ¿Qué hacéis desatando el pollino?
6 The disciples replied just as Jesus told them to, and the people let them go.
6 Ellos entonces les dijeron como Jesús había mandado: y los dejaron.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus, put their cloaks on it, and Jesus sat on it.
7 Y trajeron el pollino á Jesús, y echaron sobre él sus vestidos, y se sentó sobre él.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others laid down leafy branches that they'd cut in the fields.
8 Y muchos tendían sus vestidos por el camino, y otros cortaban hojas de los árboles, y [las] tendían por el camino.
9 Those leading in the front and those that were following were all shouting, “Hosanna! Bless the one coming in the name of the Lord.
9 Y los que iban delante, y los que iban detrás, daban voces diciendo: ¡Hosanna! Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor.
10 Bless the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Bendito el reino de nuestro padre David que viene: ¡Hosanna en las alturas!
11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went in to the Temple. He looked around him, observing everything, and then, since it was getting late, he returned to Bethany with the twelve disciples.
11 Y entró Jesús en Jerusalem, y en el templo: y habiendo mirado alrededor todas las cosas, y siendo ya tarde, salióse á Bethania con los doce.
12 The next day, as they left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
12 Y el día siguiente, como salieron de Bethania, tuvo hambre.
13 From some distance away he saw a fig tree with leaves, so he went over to it to see if it had any fruit. But when he got there, he found it had only leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
13 Y viendo de lejos una higuera que tenía hojas, se acercó, si quizá hallaría en ella algo: y como vino á ella, nada halló sino hojas; porque no era tiempo de higos.
14 He said to the tree, “May no one eat fruit from you ever again.” His disciples heard his words.
14 Entonces Jesús respondiendo, dijo á la higuera: Nunca más coma nadie fruto de ti para siempre. Y lo oyeron sus discípulos.
15 They arrived back in Jerusalem, and Jesus went into the Temple. He started driving out the people who were buying and selling in the Temple. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the people selling doves.
15 Vienen, pues, á Jerusalem; y entrando Jesús en el templo, comenzó á echar fuera á los que vendían y compraban en el templo; y trastornó las mesas de los cambistas, y las sillas de los que vendían palomas;
16 He stopped anyone carrying things through the Temple.
16 Y no consentía que alguien llevase vaso por el templo.
17 He explained to them, “Doesn't Scripture say, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have turned it into a den of thieves!”
17 Y les enseñaba diciendo: ¿No está escrito que mi casa, casa de oración será llamada por todas las gentes? Mas vosotros la habéis hecho cueva de ladrones.
18 The chief priests and religious teachers heard what had happened, and tried to find a way to kill Jesus. But they were afraid of him, for everyone was so impressed by his teaching.
18 Y lo oyeron los escribas y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y procuraban cómo le matarían; porque le tenían miedo, por cuanto todo el pueblo estaba maravillado de su doctrina.
19 When evening came Jesus and his disciples left the city.
19 Mas como fué tarde, Jesús salió de la ciudad.
20 The following morning as they returned, they saw the fig tree, withered from the roots up.
20 Y pasando por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces.
21 Peter remembered what Jesus had done, and said to him, “Rabbi, look, the fig tree that you cursed has withered.”
21 Entonces Pedro acordándose, le dice: Maestro, he aquí la higuera que maldijiste, se ha secado.
22 “Trust in God,” Jesus replied.
22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tened fe en Dios.
23 “Believe me when I say to you that if you told this mountain, ‘Get out of here and be thrown into the sea,’ and you don't doubt in your heart, but are convinced about what you're asking, then it will happen!
23 Porque de cierto os digo que cualquiera que dijere á este monte: Quítate, y échate en la mar, y no dudare en su corazón, mas creyere que será hecho lo que dice, lo que dijere le será hecho.
24 I'm telling you that whatever you pray for, whatever you ask, trust that you've received it, and it's yours.
24 Por tanto, os digo que todo lo que orando pidiereis, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá.
25 But when you're praying, if you have something against someone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your sins.”
25 Y cuando estuviereis orando, perdonad, si tenéis algo contra alguno, para que vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdone también á vosotros vuestras ofensas.
26 Not in this translation
26 Porque si vosotros no perdonareis, tampoco vuestro Padre que está en los cielos os perdonará vuestras ofensas.
27 They returned to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, religious teachers, and the leaders approached him.
27 Y volvieron á Jerusalem; y andando él por el templo, vienen á él los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y los escribas, y los ancianos;
28 “By what authority are you doing all this?” they demanded. “Who gave you the right?”
28 Y le dicen: ¿Con qué facultad haces estas cosas? ¿y quién te ha dado esta facultad para hacer estas cosas?
29 “Let me ask you a question,” Jesus told them. “You answer me, and I'll tell you by whose authority I do these things.
29 Y Jesús respondiendo entonces, les dice: Os preguntaré también yo una palabra; y respondedme, y os diré con qué facultad hago estas cosas:
30 John's baptism—did that come from heaven, or from people?”
30 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo, ó de los hombres? Respondedme.
31 They discussed it among themselves. They said, “If we say it's from heaven, he'll reply, ‘So why didn't you believe him?’
31 Entonces ellos pensaron dentro de sí, diciendo: Si dijéremos, del cielo, dirá: ¿Por qué, pues, no le creísteis?
32 But if we say, it's of human origin, well…” They were afraid of the crowd, because everyone believed that John was a true prophet.
32 Y si dijéremos, de los hombres, tememos al pueblo: porque todos juzgaban de Juan, que verdaderamente era profeta.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” “Then I'm not telling you by whose authority I do these things,” replied Jesus.
33 Y respondiendo, dicen á Jesús: No sabemos. Entonces respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tampoco yo os diré con qué facultad hago estas cosas.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
But to this is added, that as we read it in the narrative of the other Evangelist who expressly mentions this, "it was not the time for that fruit." For that was the time when the fig-tree shoots forth its tender leaves, which come, we know, before the fruit; and this we prove, because the day of the Lord's Passion …

"And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only." Another evangelist saith, "The time of figs was not yet;" but if it was not time, how doth the other evangelist say, "He came, if haply He might find fruit thereon." Whence it is manifest that this belongs to …

For he who says that Christ only worked miracles, for the miracles' sake, may say too that He was ignorant that it was not the time for fruit, when He sought figs upon the fig-tree. For it was not the time for that fruit, as the Evangelist testifies; and yet being hungry He sought for fruit upon the tree.
