The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 11:1-19

Christ's Royalty [An Analysis] Mar 11:1-19 For homiletic purposes the narrative may be used to show the features which will characterise the day of Christ's recognised royalty. When Christ's royalty is fully recognised (1) All possessions will be consecrated to his service. Jesus Christ gave his disciples a word whose power was to overcome all hesitation on the part of the owners of the colt; that word was "The Lord hath need of them." The expression itself is peculiar. Why should the Lord... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:1-11

1-11 Christ's coming into Jerusalem thus remarkably, shows that he was not afraid of the power and malice of his enemies. This would encourage his disciples who were full of fear. Also, that he was not disquieted at the thoughts of his approaching sufferings. But all marked his humiliation; and these matters teach us not to mind high things, but to condescend to those of low estate. How ill it becomes Christians to take state, when Christ was so far from claiming it! They welcomed his person;... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 11:1-99

Mark 11 JESUS NOW DREW near to Jerusalem. His disciples were in His train, not only those who had spent three years in His company but Bartimaeus also, who had spent perhaps three hours. Bethany was the home of some who loved Him, and there He found the colt of an ass, so that He might enter the city as Zechariah had predicted. The Lord had need of that colt, and He knew who the owner was and that His need would meet with a ready response. He was the Servant of the will of God, and He knew... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 11:1-19

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
