Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Matthew Luke
Mark 11
Verse 1. To Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives - The limits
of Bethany reached to the mount of Olives, and joined to those of
Bethphage. Bethphage was part of the suburbs of Jerusalem, and
reached from the mount of Olives to the walls of the city. Our
Lord was now come to the place where the boundaries of Bethany
and Bethphage met. Matt. xxi, 1; Luke xix, 29; John xii, 12.
Verse
11. Matt. xxi, 10, 17.
Verse
12. Matt. xxi, 18.
Verse
13. For it was not a season of figs - It was net (as we say) a good
year for figs; at least not for that early sort, which alone was ripe
so soon in the spring. If we render the words, It was not the
season of figs, that is, the time of gathering them in, it may mean,
The season was not yet: and so (inclosing the words in a
parenthesis, And coming to it, he found nothing but leaves) it may
refer to the former part of the sentence, and may be considered as
the reason of Christ's going to see whether there were any figs on
this tree. Some who also read that clause in a parenthesis, translate
the hollowing words, for where he was, it was the season of figs.
And it is certain, this meaning of the words suits best with the
great design of the parable, which was to reprove the Jewish
Church for its unfruitfulness at that very season, when fruit might
best be expected from them.
Verse
15. Matt. xxi, 12; Luke xix, 45.
Verse
16. He suffered not that any should carry a vessel through the
temple - So strong notions had our Lord, of even relative holiness!
And of the regard due to those places (as well as times) that are
peculiarly dedicated to God.
Verse
17. Isaiah lvi, 7; Jer. vii, 11.
Verse
18. They feared him - That is, they were afraid to take him by
violence, lest it should raise a tumult; because all the people was
astonished at his teaching - Both at the excellence of his
discourse, and at the majesty and authority with which he taught.
Verse
20. Matt. xxi, 20.
Verse
22. Have faith in God - And who could find fault, if the Creator
and Proprietor of all things were to destroy, by a single word of
his mouth, a thousand of his inanimate creatures, were it only to
imprint this important lesson more deeply on one immortal spirit?
Verse
25. When ye stand praying - Standing was their usual posture
when they prayed. Forgive - And on this condition, ye shall have
whatever you ask, with. out wrath or doubting. Matt. vi, 14.
Verse
27. Matt. xxi, 23; Luke xx, 1.
