12. curses the fruitless fig tree;

27. and defends his actions by the witness of John, who was a man sent of God.














Then Jesus entered Jerusalem
The phrase "Then Jesus entered Jerusalem" marks a significant moment in the Gospel of Mark, as it signifies Jesus' triumphal entry into the city, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9. The Greek word for "entered" (εἰσέρχομαι, eiserchomai) implies a purposeful and deliberate action. Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is not just a physical movement but a profound spiritual event, symbolizing the coming of the Messiah to the heart of Jewish worship and expectation. Historically, Jerusalem was the center of Jewish religious life, and Jesus' entry into the city is a declaration of His messianic mission.

and went into the temple courts
The "temple courts" refer to the outer areas of the Temple in Jerusalem, which were accessible to both Jews and Gentiles. The Greek term for "temple" (ἱερόν, hieron) encompasses the entire temple complex, not just the inner sanctum. This setting is significant because the temple was the focal point of Jewish worship and sacrifice. Jesus' presence in the temple courts underscores His authority and His role as the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. It also foreshadows His upcoming actions in cleansing the temple, highlighting His zeal for true worship and His challenge to the religious leaders of the time.

He looked around at everything
The phrase "He looked around at everything" suggests a thorough and discerning observation. The Greek word for "looked around" (περιβλέπω, periblepo) indicates a careful and comprehensive gaze. Jesus' inspection of the temple courts is not merely a casual glance but a deliberate assessment of the spiritual state of the temple and its practices. This moment of observation sets the stage for His subsequent actions and teachings, emphasizing His role as the righteous judge and reformer.

but since it was already late
The mention of "it was already late" provides a temporal context for Jesus' actions. The Greek word for "late" (ὀψία, opsia) refers to the evening time, suggesting that the day's activities were drawing to a close. This detail highlights Jesus' humanity, as He adheres to the natural rhythms of day and night. It also suggests a sense of urgency in His mission, as time is limited before His impending crucifixion. The lateness of the hour may also symbolize the spiritual darkness and urgency for repentance among the people.

He went out to Bethany with the Twelve
"Bethany" was a small village located about two miles from Jerusalem, on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives. It served as a place of rest and refuge for Jesus and His disciples. The mention of "the Twelve" underscores the close relationship between Jesus and His chosen apostles, who were witnesses to His teachings and miracles. The Greek term for "went out" (ἐξέρχομαι, exerchomai) implies a departure with purpose. Jesus' retreat to Bethany signifies a moment of preparation and reflection before the events of the Passion Week unfold. Historically, Bethany was the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, further emphasizing the theme of friendship and support in Jesus' ministry.

(11) And now the eventide was come.--On the apparent discrepancy between St. Mark's narrative and that of St. Matthew and St. Luke, see Note on Matthew 21:12. The minuteness and precision of St. Mark's report are in themselves, prima facie, an evidence in its favour. The word "eventide" is somewhat indefinite, but it included the two or three hours before sunset, as well as after. The procession, if it started in the morning, had probably been delayed by frequent halts, and its movement through such a dense crowd must have been but slow.

Verse 11. - This visit to the temple is not mentioned by St. Matthew. It is an important addition to his narrative. The moment of our Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem was not the moment for the display of his indignation against the profaners of the temple. He was then surrounded by an enthusiastic and admiring multitude; so he contented himself on this occasion with looking round about upon all things (περιβλεψάμενος πάντα). His keen and searching eye saw at a glance all that was going on, and penetrated everything. But without any comment or action at that time, he went out unto Bethany (it was now eventide) with the twelve. No doubt the disciples, and especially Peter, saw what was involved in this visit of inspection, which prepared them for what took place on the morrow.
