Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Matthew Luke
Mark 11
11:1 And
1
when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of
Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
(
1) A graphic image of the spiritual kingdom of
Christ on earth.
11:9
And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna;
a
Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
(
a) Let it be well to him that comes to us from
God, or that is sent from God.
11:10 b
Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the
Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
(
b) Happy and prosperous.
11:13 2
And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find
any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the
time of figs was not [yet].
(
2) An example of that vengeance which hangs over
the heads of hypocrites.
11:15 3
And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast
out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
(
3) Christ shows that he is indeed the true King
and high Priest, and therefore the one who takes revenge upon those who do not
show proper reverence for the holy function of the temple.
11:16 And would not suffer that any man should
carry [any]
c vessel through the temple.
(
c) That is, any profane instrument (of which
those men had many) that made the court of the temple a marketplace.
11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not
written, My house shall be
d called of
all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
(
d) Will openly be considered and taken to be so.
11:20 4
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the
roots.
(
4) The power of faith is exceedingly great, and
charity is always joined with it.
11:22 And Jesus answering
saith unto them, Have
e faith in God.
(
e) The faith of God is that assured faith and
trust which we have in him.
11:24 Therefore I say unto
you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that
f
ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
(
f) Literally, "that you receive it",
speaking in the present tense, to show the certainty of the thing, and that it
will indeed be performed.
11:25 And when
g
ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also
which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
(
g) When you will appear before the altar.
11:27 5
And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there
come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
(
5) The gospel has been assaulted long since then
by those in positions of human authority.
11:32
6 But if we shall say, Of men; they
feared the people: for all [men] counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
(
6) The reward of their evil conscience is to be
afraid of those who should have been afraid of them.
