Mark 11
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 will send
him back hither. 4 And they went away, and found a
colt tied at a 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 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 Jehovah(a):
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 evening, 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 from 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, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 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 every evening they went forth out of the city.
20 And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree(b) withered away from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree(b) 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 have received it, and ye shall have them. 25 And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have a grievance against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
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 began to say 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 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 But should we say, From men--they feared the crowd: 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(c).

Quote: We complain of the doctrine of the Trinity, that, not satisfied with making God three beings, it makes Jesus Christ two beings, and thus introduces infinite confusion into our conceptions of his character. This corruption of Christianity, alike repugnant to common sense and to the general strain of Scripture, is a remarkable proof of the power of a false philosophy in disfiguring the simple truth of Jesus.
