Jesus Curses the Fig Tree
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. 12 The 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.…

Bethany Following Food Forth Hungered Hungry Jesus Leaving Morrow Need
Mark 11
1. Jesus rides with triumph into Jerusalem;
12. curses the fruitless fig tree;
15. purges the temple;
20. exhorts his disciples to steadfastness of faith, and to forgive their enemies;
27. and defends his actions by the witness of John, who was a man sent of God.














The next day
This phrase indicates a continuation of the narrative from the previous events. In the context of the Gospel of Mark, this is the day following Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The phrase underscores the unfolding of God's divine plan in a sequential manner. It reminds us of the importance of each day in the life of Jesus, as each moment is filled with purpose and intention. Theologically, it can be seen as a reminder that God's timing is perfect, and each day holds significance in His divine plan.

when they had left Bethany
Bethany was a small village located on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, about two miles from Jerusalem. It was a place of rest and refuge for Jesus, often associated with His friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The mention of Bethany highlights the humanity of Jesus, who sought fellowship and rest among friends. Historically, Bethany was a place of hospitality and care, reflecting the community's role in supporting Jesus' ministry. This phrase also sets the geographical context for the events that follow, emphasizing the proximity to Jerusalem and the impending fulfillment of Jesus' mission.

Jesus was hungry
This simple yet profound statement reveals the humanity of Jesus. Despite being the Son of God, He experienced physical needs and limitations. The Greek word for "hungry" (πεινάω, peinaō) emphasizes a genuine physical need, reminding us that Jesus fully embraced the human condition. This moment of hunger also sets the stage for the subsequent teaching on the fig tree, illustrating spiritual truths through physical realities. Theologically, it serves as a reminder that Jesus, though divine, fully participated in the human experience, making Him a compassionate and understanding Savior. His hunger also foreshadows the spiritual nourishment He offers to those who seek Him.

(12-14) And on the morrow.--On the chronological difficulty presented by this verse, see Note on Matthew 21:18-19.

Verse 12. - And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered. This was, therefore, the day after Palm Sunday (as we call it) - on the Monday, the 11th day of the month Nisan, which, according to our computation, would be March 21. He hungered. This showed his humanity, which he was ever wont to do when he was about to display his Divine power. The fact that he hungered would lead us to the conclusion that he had not been spending the night in the house of Martha and Mary. It is far more likely that he had been in the open air during the previous night, fasting and praying.
