Evangelium secundum Marcum, 11

1. et cum adpropinquarent Hierosolymæ et Bethaniæ ad montem Olivarum mittit duos ex discipulis suis

1. And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

2. et ait illis ite in castellum quod est contra vos et statim intrœuntes illuc invenietis pullum ligatum super quem nemo adhuc hominum sedit solvite illum et adducite

2. And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, upon which no man yet hath sat: loose him, and bring him.

3. et si quis vobis dixerit quid facitis dicite quia Domino necessarius est et continuo illum dimittet huc

3. And if any man shall say to you, What are you doing? say ye that the Lord hath need of him: and immediately he will let him come hither.

4. et abeuntes invenerunt pullum ligatum ante januam foris in bivio et solvunt eum

4. And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate without, in the meeting of two ways: and they loose him.

5. et quidam de illic stantibus dicebant illis quid facitis solventes pullum

5. And some of them that stood there, said to them: What do you loosing the colt?

6. qui dixerunt eis sicut præceperat illis Jesus et dimiserunt eis

6. Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them; and they let him go with them.

7. et duxerunt pullum ad Jesum et inponunt illi vestimenta sua et sedit super eo

7. And they brought the colt to Jesus; and they lay their garments on him, and he sat upon him.

8. multi autem vestimenta sua straverunt in via alii autem frondes cædebant de arboribus et sternebant in via

8. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way.

9. et qui præibant et qui sequebantur clamabant dicentes osanna benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini

9. And they that went before and they that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

10. benedictum quod venit regnum patris nostri David osanna in excelsis

10. Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.

11. et introivit Hierosolyma in templum et circumspectis omnibus cum jam vespera esset hora exivit in Bethania cum duodecim

11. And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.

12. et alia die cum exirent a Bethania esuriit

12. And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry.

13. cumque vidisset a longe ficum habentem folia venit si quid forte inveniret in ea et cum venisset ad eam nihil invenit præter folia non enim erat tempus ficorum

13. And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs.

14. et respondens dixit ei jam non amplius in æternum quisquam fructum ex te manducet et audiebant discipuli ejus

14. And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15. et veniunt Hierosolymam et cum introisset templum cœpit eicere vendentes et ementes in templo et mensas nummulariorum et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit

15. And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the chairs of them that sold doves.

16. et non sinebat ut quisquam vas transferret per templum

16. And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple;

17. et docebat dicens eis non scriptum est quia domus mea domus orationis vocabitur omnibus gentibus vos autem fecistis eam speluncam latronum

17. And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves.

18. quo audito principes sacerdotum et scribæ quærebant quomodo eum perderent timebant enim eum quoniam universa turba admirabatur super doctrina ejus

18. Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.

19. et cum vespera facta esset egrediebatur de civitate

19. And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.

20. et cum mane transirent viderunt ficum aridam factam a radicibus

20. And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21. et recordatus Petrus dicit ei rabbi ecce ficus cui maledixisti aruit

21. And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away.

22. et respondens Jesus ait illis habete fidem Dei

22. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God.

23. amen dico vobis quicumque dixerit huic monti tollere et mittere in mare et non hæsitaverit in corde suo sed crediderit quia quodcumque dixerit fiat fiet ei

23. Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe, that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.

24. propterea dico vobis omnia quæcumque orantes petitis credite quia accipietis et veniet vobis

24. Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive; and they shall come unto you.

25. et cum stabitis ad orandum dimittite si quid habetis adversus aliquem ut et Pater vester qui in cælis est dimittat vobis peccata vestra

25. And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man; that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins.

26. quod si vos non dimiseritis nec Pater vester qui in cælis est dimittet vobis peccata vestra

26. But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father that is in heaven, forgive you your sins.

27. et veniunt rursus Hierosolymam et cum ambularet in templo accedunt ad eum summi sacerdotes et scribæ et seniores

27. And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients,

28. et dicunt illi in qua potestate hæc facis et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem ut ista facias

28. And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these things?

29. Jesus autem respondens ait illis interrogabo vos et ego unum verbum et respondete mihi et dicam vobis in qua potestate hæc faciam

29. And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word, and answer you me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30. baptismum Johannis de cælo erat an ex hominibus respondete mihi

30. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.

31. at illi cogitabant secum dicentes si dixerimus de cælo dicet quare ergo non credidistis ei

31. But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did you not believe him?

32. sed dicemus ex hominibus timebant populum omnes enim habebant Johannem quia vere propheta esset

32. If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.

33. et respondentes dicunt Jesu nescimus respondens Jesus ait illis neque ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc faciam

33. And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
