Mark 11:1-19
Jesus Enters Jerusalem
Jesus and his disciples reached Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount
of Olives. When they were getting close to Jerusalem, Jesus sent two
of them on ahead. He told them, "Go into the next village. As soon as
you enter it, you will find a young donkey that has never been ridden.
Untie the donkey and bring it here. If anyone asks why you are doing
that, say, 'The Lord needs it and will soon bring it back.'" The
disciples left and found the donkey tied near a door that faced the
street. While they were untying it, some of the people standing there
asked, "Why are you untying the donkey?" They told them what Jesus
had said, and the people let them take it. The disciples led the
donkey to Jesus. They put some of their clothes on its back, and Jesus
got on. Many people spread clothes on the road, while others went to
cut branches from the fields. In front of Jesus and behind him, people
went along shouting, "Hooray! God bless the one who comes in the name
of the Lord! God bless the coming kingdom of our ancestor David.
Hooray for God in heaven above!" After Jesus had gone to Jerusalem, he
went into the temple and looked around at everything. But since it was
already late in the day, he went back to Bethany with the twelve
disciples.
Jesus Puts a Curse on a Fig Tree
When Jesus and his disciples left Bethany the next morning, he was
hungry. From a distance Jesus saw a fig tree covered with leaves, and
he went to see if there were any figs on the tree. But there were not
any, because it wasn't the season for figs. So Jesus said to the
tree, "Never again will anyone eat fruit from this tree!" The
disciples heard him say this.
Jesus in the Temple
After Jesus and his disciples reached Jerusalem, he went into the
temple and began chasing out everyone who was selling and buying. He
turned over the tables of the moneychangers and the benches of those
who were selling doves. Jesus would not let anyone carry things
through the temple. Then he taught the people and said, "The
Scriptures say, 'My house should be called a place of worship for all
nations.' But you have made it a place where robbers hide!" The chief
priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses heard what Jesus said,
and they started looking for a way to kill him. They were afraid of
him, because the crowds were completely amazed at his teaching. That
evening, Jesus and the disciples went outside the city."
God bless you.
