Mark · Chapter 11

[ edit] And whanne Jheſus cam nyȝ to Jeruſalem and to Betanye, to þe mount of Olyuete, he ſendiþ two of his diſciplis, and ſeiþ to hem, Go ȝe in to þe caſtel þat is aȝens ȝou; and anon ȝe entrynge in þidur ſchulen fynde a colt tyed, on þe which non of men ſat ȝit; vnbynde ȝe, and bryng him. And if ony man ſchal ſeie ony þing to ȝou, ſeie ȝe, þat he is nedeful to þe Lord, and anon he ſchal leeue him hidur. And þei goynge forþ, founden a colt bounden byfore þe ȝate wiþ outeforþ, in þe meeting of tweye weyes; and þei vnbounden him. And ſumme of men ſtondinge þere ſeiden to hem, What don ȝe, vnbyndinge þe colt? And þei ſeiden to hem, as Jheſus comaundide to hem; and þei leften hem.

And þei brouȝten þe colt to Jheſu, and þei puttiden to him her cloþis, and Jheſus ſat vpon him. Forſoþe manye ſtrewiden her cloþis in þe weye, ſoþeli oþere men kittiden bowis, or braunchis, fro trees, and ſtrewiden in þe weye. And þei þat wenten bifore, and þat ſueden, cryeden, ſeyinge, Oſanna, bleſſid is he þat comeþ in þe name of þe Lord; bleſſid þe kyngdom þat comeþ of oure fadir Dauiþ; Oſanna in hiȝtees. And he entride in to Jeruſalem, in to þe temple; and alle þingis ſeyn aboute, whanne þe our was now euenyng, he wente in to Betanye, wiþ twelue. And anoþer day, whanne he wente out of Betanye, he hungride.

And whanne he hadde ſeyn a fyge tree afer hauynge leeuys, he cam, if happily he ſchulde fynde ony þing þerynne; and whanne he cam to it, he fond no þing, out taken leeuys; for it was no tyme of fygis. And Jheſus anſweringe ſeide to it, Now no more wiþ outen ende ony man ete fruyt of þee. And his diſciples herden; and þei camen to Jeruſalem. And whanne he hadde entrid in to þe temple, he bigan for to caſte out men ſellinge and biggynge in þe temple; and he turnyde vpſodoun þe boordis of chaungeris, and þe chaieris of men ſellinge culueris; and he ſuffride not, þat ony man ſchulde bere a veſſel þurȝ þe temple.

And he tauȝte hem, ſeyinge, Wher it is not writun, For myn hous ſchal be clepid þe hous of preiynge to alle folkis? forſoþ ȝe han maad it a den of þeues. Þe which þing herd, þe princes of preſtis and ſcribis ſouȝten hou þei ſchulde leeſe him; forſoþ þei dreden hym, for al þe cumpanye of peple wondride on his teching. And whanne euenyng was maad, he wente out of þe citee. And whanne þei paſſiden eerly, þei ſyȝen þe fige tree maad drye fro þe rootis. And Petre hauynge mynde, ſeide to him, Maiſtir, lo! þe fyge tree, whom þou curſediſt, haþ dryed vp.

And Jheſus anſweringe ſeiþ to him, Haue ȝe þe feiþ of God; treuli I ſeie to ȝou, þat who euere ſeiþ to þis hil, Take, and ſende in to þe ſee; and doutiþ not in his herte, but bileueþ, for what euere he ſchal ſeye, be it maad, it ſchal be maad to him. Þerfore I ſeie to ȝou, alle þingis what euere þingis ȝe preiynge ſchulen axe, bileue ȝe þat ȝe ſchulen take, and þei ſchulen come to ȝou. And whanne ȝe ſchulen ſtonde for to preie, forȝyue ȝe, if ȝe han ony þing aȝens ony man, þat and ȝoure fadir þat is in heuenes, forȝyue to ȝou ȝoure ſynnes. Þat if ȝe ſchulen not forȝyue, neiþer ȝoure fadir þat is in heuenes, ſchal forȝyue ȝou ȝoure ſynnes. And eftſoone þei camen to Jeruſalem.

And whanne he walkide in to þe temple, þe hiȝeſte preſtis, and ſcribis, and eldere men camen niȝ to him, and ſeien to him, In what power doiſt þou þes þingis? or who ȝaf to þee þis power, þat þou do þes þingis? Forſoþe Jheſus anſweringe ſeiþ to hem, And I ſchal axe ȝou o word, and anſwere ȝe to me, and I ſchal ſeie to ȝou, in what power I do þes þingis. Wheþer was þe baptym of John of heuene, or of men? anſwere ȝe to me. And þei þouȝten wiþ inne hem ſelue, ſeiynge, If we ſchulen ſeie of heuene, he ſchal ſeie to vs, Whi þerfore bileuen ȝe not to him; if we ſchulen ſeie of men, we dreden þe peple; for alle men hadden John, for he was verily a prophete.

And þei anſweringe ſeyen to Jheſu, We witen neuere. And Jheſu anſweringe ſeiþ to hem, Neiþer I ſeie to ȝou, in what power I do þes þingis.
