Mark 11:11 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 11:1-11

We have here the story of the public entry Christ made into Jerusalem, four or five days before his death. And he came into town thus remarkably, 1. To show that he was not afraid of the power and malice of his enemies in Jerusalem. He did not steal into the city incognito, as one that durst not show his face; no, they needed not send spies to search for him, he comes in with observation. This would be an encouragement to his disciples that were timorous, and cowed at the thought of their... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 11:11

11:11 And he came into Jerusalem into the Temple. After he had looked round everything, when it was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve. This simple verse shows us two things about Jesus which were typical of him. (i) It shows us Jesus deliberately summing up his task. The whole atmosphere of the last days was one of deliberation. Jesus was not recklessly plunging into unknown dangers. He was doing everything with his eyes wide open. When he looked round everything, he was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 11:11

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem ,.... this public manner, riding upon an ass, with the multitude attending hin, some going before, and others after, crying, "Hosanna" to him: and into the temple ; which he rode up directly to; the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, leave out the copulative "and"; his great concern being there; and having dismounted, and dismissed the colt, and sent it by proper persons to the owner of it, he went into the temple, into the court of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:11

When he had looked round about upon all things - He examined every thing - to see if the matters pertaining to the Divine worship were properly conducted; to see that nothing was wanting - nothing superfluous. And now the eventide was come - The time in which he usually left Jerusalem, to go to Bethany. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:11

Verse 11 There is a difference between Matthew and Mark in their narrative of the withering of the fig tree; for Matthew says that it was on the day after that Christ made a public appearance as King, while Mark appears to throw it back to the following day. (9) But the solution is easy; for they agree in this respect, that Christ, on the day after that he made his solemn entrance into the city, cursed the tree; only Mark states what Matthew had omitted, that the occurrence was observed by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:1-11

The triumphal entry. Christ was a King, but his royalty was misunderstood during his ministry upon earth. The devil had offered him the kingdoms of this world, and he had refused them. The people would have taken him by force and have made him a king, but he had hidden himself from them. Yet it was right and meet that he should in some way assume a kingly state and accept royal honors. The triumphal entry interests us, because it was the acknowledgment and reception of Jesus with the... read more

The triumphal entry into Jerusalem. "To Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany," the order of mention being determined by reckoning from the place whither the movement was being made. They began, therefore, with Bethany. It was familiar ground, fragrant with tender associations with both the human and the Divine. I. PREPARATIONS . The triumph was foreseen by Christ, and he made arrangements for its being celebrated with becoming order and dignity. 1 . The unforeseen and... read more

The symbolic triumph. I. THE ASSUMPTION OF AUTHORITY BY CHRIST . He issues his mandate, as having a pre-emption or right to be served before all others. The act was the more impressive because standing out in rare contrast to the ordinary tenor of Christ's conduct. II. THE MILD POMP OF HIS ENTRY . He is acknowledged with loyal shouts as King and Lord. Hosanna is "Save now!" The words of acclamation are cited from a "Hallelujah" psalm ( Psalms 118:25 , ... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 21:1-11 ; 14-17; Luke 19:29-44 ; John 12:12-19 .— Our Lord's public entry into Jerusalem. I. JOURNEY FROM JERICHO . Jerusalem is at an elevation of three thousand six hundred feet above Jericho in the Jordan valley. The distance between the two cities is upwards of fifteen miles. Travel-stained and weary with this uphill journey, gradually ascending all the way, our Lord stayed over sabbath with the family of Bethany, where he got rested and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:11

This visit to the temple is not mentioned by St. Matthew. It is an important addition to his narrative. The moment of our Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem was not the moment for the display of his indignation against the profaners of the temple. He was then surrounded by an enthusiastic and admiring multitude; so he contented himself on this occasion with looking round about upon all things ( περιβλεψάμενος πάντα ). His keen and searching eye saw at a glance all that was going on,... read more
