Mark 11:9-10

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:9

CHRIST THE SUBJECT OF SONG‘Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.’ Mark 11:9 I. In the New Testament Jesus Christ is the subject of all songs. The Virgin Mary’s, Zacharias’s, Simeon’s, Anna’s, that beautiful hymn of the Church on St. Peter’s deliverance (in the fourth chapter of the Acts), the abrupt bursts of praise which break out here and there in the Epistles, up to the chants of the Revelation, all, without one exception, have Christ as their theme. II. Let us now... read more

Peter Pett

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 11:9-10

‘And those who went in front, and those who followed, cried, “Hosanna (‘save now’)! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the kingly rule that comes, of our father David. Hosanna in the highest.” These cries are mainly taken from Psalms 118:0. ‘Hoshi‘ah na’ - save now’ (Psalms 118:25). ‘Blessed be He Who comes in the name of the Lord’ (Psalms 118:26). These were extracts from a Psalm used at the Passover, and were regularly shouted out at visitors to Jerusalem at the... 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

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 11:7-10

See Poole on "Matthew 21:8-9". It appeareth by our Saviour sending for the colt, that this little rural triumph, and the acclamations attending it, were designed by him both to show the people: 1. That he was the King whom God had promised to set upon his holy hill of Zion; and; 2. That his kingdom was not of this world. For, as he elsewhere saith, if his kingdom had been of this world, his servants would have fought for him. So it may be said: You may know his kingdom that he spake of was not... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 11:1-11

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESIt may be well to trace out, approximately, the order of events here. Leaving Jericho on the Friday morning, after a fatiguing journey of six or seven hours, they reach Bethany, where they spend the Sabbath. On Saturday evening Christ sups in the house of Simon the leper, His disciples and Lazarus and his sisters being present; and at this feast He is anointed by Mary. During that night the chief priests—irritated on hearing that many of the Jews have been to see... read more
