1.And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
2.And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
3.And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4.And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5.And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6.And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7.And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8.And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9.And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Ps 118:25,26 Matt 21:9
10.Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Ps 118:25,26
11.And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12.And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13.And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14.And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15.And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16.And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17.And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. Isa 56:7 Jer 7:11 Matt 21:13 Luke 19:46
18.And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
19.And when even was come, he went out of the city.
20.And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21.And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22.And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23.For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24.Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25.And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26.But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
27.And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28.And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29.And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30.The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31.And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32.But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33.And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Chapter 11 At times Jesus would give things in exchange for other things. He wished for his houses of worship to be called a temple or a house of prayer.
Story for Mark Chapter 11
Jerusalem
Jesus makes his entrance in Jerusalem. He first sends two of his disciple to find a donkey to bring to Him. In the center of the street, they find a colt standing there alone and untie it. They bring it to Jesus. When the onlookers ask them what they were doing, they reply by saying that it was Jesus who had sent them to do so. When Jesus enters Jerusalem, a lot of people make a path with their garments for Jesus to pass through with the colt. They also sang praises to welcome Him.
The Tree and the Temple
In verses 12-14 Jesus curses the fig tree. This takes place the morning after Jesus comes to Jerusalem. Jesus was hungry, but the fig tree did not provide any fruits to feed him. He then curses the tree so that no one could eat a fruit from it.
Later Jesus enters the temple and drives out all the people who were doing business in there. He knocked over all the tables that were used for exchanging money and said that the scripture was clear that the house of God is a place of worship and not a den of thieves. Soon after the disciples pass by the fig tree in the evening and find that it has dried up from the curse.

Heavenly Father what amazing grace, that You should send Your only begotten Son to come to earth as the heavenly Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world, and also as the human son of king David, Who will set up a kingdom of peace and prosperity, on earth. Thank You that You loved the world so much that You chose to die on the cross so that we might live. Thank You that Your plan of redemption does not exclude anyone and thank You that all Who call on the name of the Lord, in faith, will be saved. Help me to live my life in a way that honours Your name and thank You that all Your plans and purposes for the salvation of man and the restoration of the world are ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ in Christ Jesus our Lord – in Whose name we pray, AMEN.
