Gen Z: Mark 11
1So they rolled up to Jerusalem, hitting up Bethphage and Bethany, chillin' at the Mount of Olives, and Jesus sent two of his homies.
2He was like, "Yo, head to the village over there. As soon as you pull up, you’ll find a colt tied up that no one's ever ridden; untie it and bring it here."
3And if anyone asks, "Why you doing this?" just say, "The Lord needs it," and they'll let you roll.
4They dipped and found the colt tied up by the door where two roads met, and they untied it.
5Some peeps standing there were like, "What’s up with you loosening the colt?"
6They replied just like Jesus told them to, and those folks were like, "Bet, you can take it."
7They brought the colt to Jesus, threw their jackets on it, and he hopped on.
8A bunch of people laid down their jackets on the road, while others were cutting branches from trees and spreading them out too.
9Those in front and behind were shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!"
10Blessed is the kingdom of our dad David that comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest!
11Jesus pulled up to Jerusalem and hit the temple. After peeping everything, he dipped to Bethany with the crew when the sun was setting.
12The next day, after bouncing from Bethany, he was feeling hungry, no cap.
13He spotted a fig tree far away with leaves, hoping to snag a snack. But when he got there, it was just leaves; figs weren’t in season, fr.
14Jesus was like, “Ain’t nobody gonna eat fruit from you ever again.” His squad heard that.
15They rolled back to Jerusalem, and Jesus went into the temple, flipping tables and kicking out the vendors like a total savage.
16He wasn’t having anyone carry stuff through the temple, periodt.
17He taught them, “Isn’t it written that my house is a prayer spot for all nations? Y’all turned it into a thieves’ hangout.”
18The scribes and big shots heard this and were plotting to take him down because they were shook; everyone was vibing with his teachings.
19When the evening hit, he bounced out of the city.
20In the morning, as they walked by, they saw that the fig tree was all dried up from the roots.
21Peter's like, "Yo, Master, check it, that fig tree you roasted is straight up dead."
22Jesus replies, "Have faith in God, fam."
23For real, I’m telling you, if you tell this mountain to bounce into the sea and you believe it, no cap, it’s happening.
24So I’m saying, whatever you want, when you pray, believe you got it, and it’s yours, periodt.
25And when you pray, forgive anyone you got beef with, so your Dad in heaven can forgive you too.
26But if you don’t forgive, then your Father in heaven is gonna hold back on forgiving you, fr.
27They roll back to Jerusalem, and while he’s in the temple, the high priests, scribes, and elders show up.
28They’re like, "By what authority are you doing this? Who gave you the rizz to pull this off?"
29Jesus is like, "Ayo, I got a question for you too. Answer me, and I’ll spill the tea on my authority."
30"Was John’s baptism from heaven or just some human thing? Hit me with your answer."
31They were like, "If we say it’s from heaven, Jesus will be all, 'Then why didn’t you believe him?' No cap."
32But if they said it was from people, they were shook 'cause everyone thought John was a legit prophet.
33They were like, "We can’t even." And Jesus was all, "I’m not spilling the tea on my authority either."
