The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 11:8-11

The reception of Christ: v. 8. And many spread their garments in the way; and others cut down branches off the trees, and strewed them in the way. v. 9. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna! Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord. v. 10. Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! v. 11. And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the Temple; and when He had looked round about... read more

3. The Triumphal Entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem. Mark 11:1-11.(Parallels: Matthew 21:1-17; Luke 19:29-46; John 12:12-29.)1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2And 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 never1 man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that... read more

Praise and Fear Greet Jesus’ Approach Mark 11:1-19 On the first day of Passion Week a gleam of light fell athwart the Master’s path as He rode into Jerusalem. It was a lowly triumph. The humble ass was escorted by poor men, Galilean pilgrims, and children, who excited the haughty criticism of the metropolis. May a similar procession enter your heart and mine! “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” With irresistible... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 11:1-33

This is the one occasion in the life of Jesus on which He of set purpose, and in such a way as to be understood of the crowds, took the position and accepted the homage of a King. Afterward the disciples wondered as they saw the withered fig tree. (For the miracle see notes on Matthew 21:18-22.) This wonder was caused by Jesus' evident power; they did not question His right. Having in a brief and pregnant sentence revealed the secret of His power in such a case to be faith, He uttered some... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:1-25

Jesus Enters Into Jerusalem As The Prince of Peace, Purifies the Temple, and Withers A Fig Tree With A Word (11:1-25). This passage in Mark is one whole, woven around the acted out picture of the fig tree. After His entry into Jerusalem Jesus goes and surveys the Temple, looking around and considering it, then He goes and surveys the fig tree and condemns it, after which He returns to the Temple, enters it and clears it of traders. Once that has occurred He and His disciples return to the fig... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:1-33

Jesus Approaches Jerusalem and Enters It As A Proclamation Of Who He Is, Cleanses The Temple, Depicts Its Coming Demise By Means Of The Withering of The Fig Tree, Enters Into Dispute With His Opponents, And Reveals Them As Those Who Are Like Faithless Tenants Of A Vineyard Rejecting Even The Son (10:46-12:12). Along with the festal crowds proceeding to the Passover in Jerusalem along the Jericho Road Jesus now passes through Jericho on the way to Jerusalem, which He intends to enter as the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:7-9

Jesus’ Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem (11:7-9). Jesus now portrayed Himself in terms of Zechariah 9:9, although Mark does not mention this latter. But in view of his descriptions, which reproduce the signs of the proclamation of a king of Israel, he certainly wants us to see it in terms of the king entering to take possession of what was His. It was, however, a view tempered by his later understanding. There is no suggestion that he sees Jesus’ ‘offer’ as rejected by the people. The people... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:8

‘And many spread their cloaks on the roadway, and others foliage (layers of leaves) which they had cut from the fields.’ Matthew 21:8 has ‘cut branches from the trees’, John 12:13 says ‘took the branches of the palm trees’, and speaks of ‘a great crowd that had come to the feast’. Luke 19:37 speaks of ‘the whole crowd of disciples’, clearly using disciples in its widest sense. Thus central to what happened were His followers, and other disciples who had joined them on hearing of their approach,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:1-10

Mark 11:1-2 Samuel : . The Triumphal Entry.— This incident Wellhausen and HNT regard as opening a new section of the gospel, which they end with Mark 13:37. Jesus is now close to Jerusalem, Bethphage (“ house of young figs” ) being apparently between Jerusalem and Bethany (? “ house of dates,” so Swete, or “ house of unripe fruit,” EBi, col. 548) and forming one of the limits of the Sabbatic zone round Jerusalem. In the neighbourhood of this village, Jesus adopts a plan which possessed and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:1-14

Mark 11:11-2 Chronicles : . The Cursing of the Fig-Tree.— Though it is difficult to believe that Jesus spent only one crowded week in Jerusalem, Mk. here becomes confidently precise in chronology, and he tells the story of the fig-tree, distinguishing the stages in it, as if he were following exact recollections. On the first evening, Jesus surveyed the Temple, not as if He had never seen it before, but to determine His course of action. After looking round, He withdrew to Bethany. The next... read more
