Read the Bible in the order that the events happened.

Today, we are reading Mark 11; John 12.

Mark 11

1	And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2	And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3	And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4	And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; 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 commanded: and they let them go.
7	And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8	And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strewed them in the way.
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	Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11	And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12	And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
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 the time of figs was not yet.
14	And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it.
15	And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16	And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17	And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
18	And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19	And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20	And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21	And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22	And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23	For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24	Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25	And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26	But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive 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 say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29	And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also 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 of 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 if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33	And they answered and said unto Jesus. We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

John 12

1	Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2	There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3	Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
4	Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5	Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6	This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7	Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
8	For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9	Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10	But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11	Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12	On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13	Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14	And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15	Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16	These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17	The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18	For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19	The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20	And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21	The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22	Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23	And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24	Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25	He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26	If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.
27	Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28	Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29	The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
30	Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31	Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32	And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
33	This he said, signifying what death he should die.
34	The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth forever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
35	Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36	While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
37	But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38	That the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39	Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
40	He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41	These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42	Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43	For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44	Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45	And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46	I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47	And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48	He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49	For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50	And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
