This book
This book has ECM (Editio Critica Maior) apparatus at many verses — hover shows manuscripts cited at that verse. The full book catalog (all manuscripts containing Mark) is available too.
The chapter view is for reading and quick manuscript discovery. Hover verse superscripts for a preview; open the verse page for full lists, timelines, and analysis tools.
Two manuscript lists
ECM books show both lists: witnesses at this verse (ECM) and all manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (book catalog). The book catalog is the same at every verse in the book.
- Book catalog
- Manuscripts whose surviving text includes this book (from the Kurzgefaßte Liste catalog). The same list appears at every verse — it is not verse-specific attestation.
- ECM
- The Editio Critica Maior (ECM) is the scholarly critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Its apparatus records which manuscripts attest each textual variant at a specific verse.
- ECM at this verse
- Manuscripts cited in the Editio Critica Maior (ECM) apparatus at this specific verse — witnesses for textual variants here. This is usually a smaller set than the full book catalog.
ECM Books tagged ECM have verse-level textual apparatus from the Editio Critica Maior. Other NT books still show the full book-level manuscript catalog on hover.

1As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples2and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.3If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”4So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,5and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”6The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.7Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.8Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.9The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”10“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”11Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.12The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.13Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.14Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.15When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.16And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.17Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’ ? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ ”18When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.19And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.20As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.21Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”22“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.23“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.25And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well. ”27After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.28“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”29“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.30John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”31They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’32But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.33So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
