This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mar 11:11-26. The barren fig tree cursed with lessons from it - Second cleansing of the Temple, on the second and third days of the week. ( = Mat 21:12-22; Luk 19:45-48).
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon - surveyed.
all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out into Bethany with the twelve - Thus briefly does our Evangelist dispose of this His first day in Jerusalem, after the triumphal entry. Nor do the Third and Fourth Gospels give us more light. But from Matthew (Mat 21:10, Mat 21:11, Mat 21:14-16) we learn some additional and precious particulars, for which see on Luk 19:45-48. It was not now safe for the Lord to sleep in the city, nor, from the day of His Triumphal Entry, did He pass one night in it, save the last fatal one.
