Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Mark

Bible. Mark
010:051 "What shall I do for you?" said Jesus. "Rabboni," replied the
blind man, "let me recover my sight."
010:052 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has cured you." Instantly he
regained his sight, and followed Him along the road.
011:001 When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at
Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent
two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.
011:002 "Go," He said, "to the village facing you, and immediately
on entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no
one has ever yet ridden: untie him and bring him here.
011:003 And if any one asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master
needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'"
011:004 So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door
of a house. They were untying it,
011:005 when some of the bystanders called out, "What are you doing,
untying the foal?"
011:006 But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give,
they let them take it.
011:007 So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer
garments over him; and Jesus mounted.
011:008 Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road,
and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;
011:009 while those who led the way and those who followed kept shouting
"God save Him!" Blessed be He who comes in the Lord's name.
011:010 Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David! God in
the highest Heavens save Him!"
011:011 So He came into Jerusalem and into the Temple; and after looking
round upon everything there, the hour being now late He went
out to Bethany with the Twelve.
011:012 The next day, after they had left Bethany, He was hungry.
011:013 But in the distance He saw a fig-tree in full leaf, and went
to see whether perhaps He could find some figs on it.
When however He came to it, He found nothing but leaves
(for it was not fig time);
011:014 and He said to the tree, "Let no one ever again eat fruit from thee!"
And His disciples heard this.
011:015 They reached Jerusalem, and entering the Temple He began to drive
out the buyers and sellers, and upset the money-changers'
tables and the stools of the pigeon-dealers,
011:016 and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple.
011:017 And He remonstrated with them. "Is it not written," He said,
"'My House shall be called The House of Prayer for all the nations?'
But you have made it what it now is--a robbers' cave."
011:018 This the High Priests and Scribes heard, and they began
to devise means to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him,
because of the deep impression produced on all the people
by His teaching.
