Chapter 11 of MarkAmerican Standard Version (ASV)



  1. ¶ And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,
  2. and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.
  3. And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he [a]will send him [b]back hither.
  4. And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.
  5. And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
  6. And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.
  7. And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.
  8. And many spread their garments upon the way; and others [c]branches, which they had cut from the fields.
  9. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
  10. Blessed is the kingdom that cometh, the kingdom of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.
  11. ¶ And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
  12. ¶ And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.
  13. And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.
  14. And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it.
  15. ¶ And they come to Jerusalem: and he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and them that bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
  16. and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.
  17. And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, 1My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? 2but ye have made it a den of robbers.
  18. And the chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, for all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
  19. ¶ And [d]every evening [e]he went forth out of the city.
  20. ¶ And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
  21. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
  22. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
  23. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.
  24. Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye [f]receive them, and ye shall have them.
  25. And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
  26. [g]3
  27. ¶ And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;
  28. and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?
  29. And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one [h]question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
  30. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.
  31. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
  32. [i]But should we say, From men—they feared the people: [j]for all verily held John to be a prophet.
  33. And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
