CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 11:27. The elders.—“The ancient senators or representatives of the people. With the chief priests and scribes they constituted on this occasion a formal deputation from the Sanhedrin. We find the earliest notice of the elders acting in concert as a political body in the time of the Exodus (Exodus 19:7; Deuteronomy 31:9). Their authority, which extended to all matters of the common weal, they exercised under (a) the Judges (Judges 2:17; 1 Samuel 4:3); under (b)... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 11:11

Mark 11:11 The Silent Looks of Christ. I. The Lord is always looking. He looketh from heaven and beholdeth the children of men. The Lord looked to see if there were any that feared Him and that honoured His name. There is no protection from His eye. This is a terrible statement to be delivered to the bad man! You are never alone. When you think you are alone, your solitude is but relative. "Whither shall I flee from Thy presence?" The question is unanswered and unanswerable. God fills the... read more

Mark 11:12-14 The Barren Fig-tree. Consider: I. What is "fruit." The fruit of a tree is that which the sap formed in the branch; the sap, springing out of the root, passes through the stem, circulating through every little spray and tendril, deposits there the germ of fruit; and that fed by the same sap, warmed by the sun that shines on it, and strengthened by the wind, gets stronger and grows larger, till ripe and fit for the gathering. This is the operation in the kingdom of nature. Now look... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 11:13

Mark 11:13 The words "for the time of figs was not yet" are not given as a reason why Christ found nothing but leaves. He went to this one tree which had leaves on it; and that, therefore, was one of those trees which naturalists describe as never shedding their leaves. On this species of fig-tree the fruit of the last year commonly hung to the spring of the next; and the foliage might thus well induce an expectation, which barrenness afterwards disappointed. As man, Christ perceived from the... read more

Mark 11:15-16 Look: I. At the place where the market was held. It is called a temple. But you are not to think that it was actually a temple, properly so called; this would be to do the Jews great injustice. They were wonderfully scrupulous about their temple, and would never have actually held a market in any place which they themselves accounted sacred. It was in the outer court the court of the Gentiles that the sheep and oxen and doves were sold, and the money-changers had their tables. As... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 11:27-28

Mark 11:27-28 I. There is something just and legitimate in the words of Christ's enemies. The idea of a Divine revelation is inseparable from the idea of authority. Jesus to the scribes is a person without authority. For them authority is wholly in the priestly institution. Now Jesus did not belong to the tribe of Levi and to the descent of Aaron. He had not received the official consecration, He had not demanded the investiture of the synagogue. He was without authority. Christ lived in their... read more

DISCOURSE: 1445THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH IN PRAYERMark 11:24. I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.THERE is no grace more highly commended in the Scriptures, than faith: for though in some respects love may be considered as the greater, inasmuch as it more assimilates us to the Deity, and is of infinitely longer duration [Note: 1 Corinthians 13:13.]; yet faith is the parent of love, and the root of every other grace.... read more
