Mark
Chapter
11
{1st
Palm Sunday - with Quotes from Psalms 118 - Verses 1-9}
11:1-2~~
Now as they approached Jerusalem,
near
Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,
Jesus
sent two of his disciples 11:2~~
and
said to them,
"Go
to the village ahead of you.
As
soon as you enter it,
you
will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden.
Untie it and bring it here."
{Note: For centuries a colt was the sign of a king riding upon it.}
11:3~~"If
anyone says to you,
'Why
are you doing this?' say,
'The
Lord needs it and will send it back here soon.'"
11:4~~So they went and found a colt tied at a door, outside in the street, and untied it.
11:5~~Some people standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"
11:6~~They replied as Jesus had told them, and the bystanders let them go.
11:7~~ Then they brought the colt to Jesus, threw their cloaks on it, and He {Jesus} sat on it.
{Homage
to the King - See also Psalms 118 and Revelation 7:9}
11:8~~Many
spread their cloaks on the way
and
others spread branches they had cut in the fields.
{Note: The cloaks made His ride easier over the cobblestones. Spreading the branches puts the feast of the tabernacle WITH the feast of Passover. This is a very unusual thing. The feast of the tabernacle portrayed the millennial reign of Christ - they want to bypass the cross. They want the 'crown' . . . NOW! The God of Israel . . . the Messiah/Christ . . . 'the Branch' that will come out of the stump of Jesse - the son of David - Isaiah 11:1 Jeremiah 23:5-6 Zechariah 3:8, Zechariah 6:12-13.}
11:9~~Both
those who went ahead
and
those who followed kept on shouting,
"Save
us now {hosanna} please!
Blessed is the One . . . Who comes in the name of the Lord!
{Note: From Psalms 118:25 the KJV transliterated the Hebrew 'Hosanna' which means 'Save us now please'. BUT they are misquoting Psalms by leaving out the second half of each verse. They want deliverance from the Roman Empire now! Not eternal salvation.}
{Crying
for the Crown without the Cross - 2nd Advent NOW, Skip the 1st Advent}
11:10~~Blessed
is the coming kingdom of our father David!
Save
us now please {hosanna} . . .
in
the highest!"
{Note: This verse was not part of Psalms 118. It was added by the religious Jews who wanted the kingdom identified with the 2nd Advent, but wanted to skip the reference to the 1st Advent.}
11:11^^Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple.
And
having given all things a comprehensive inspection,
since
it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.
{Verses
12-14: The Fig Tree}
11:12^^Now
the next day,
they
having come out of and away from Bethany,
He
{Jesus} was hungry.
11:13^^And,
having seen a fig tree a far way off having leaves,
He
{Jesus} came, assuming that He would find something on it.
And, having come to it, He found not even one thing, except leaves.
For it was not the season for figs.
11:14^^
And, He {Jesus}'had an answer'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai} and said,
"May
no one ever eat fruit from you hereafter forever."
And His disciples kept on hearing {His saying}.
{Note:
The word answered is 'apokrinomai'. It is a compound
verb
. . . a preposition from the ultimate source . . . giving a
discerning answer based on knowledge. Krino means: 'to judge'.
Krinomai means: 'to be discerning in an answer'. Thus, the full
meaning of 'apokrinomai' is: "to give a discerning answer from
the ultimate source of one's self."}
{Cleansing
the Temple}
11:15-16^^And
they come to Jerusalem.
And
Jesus, having entered the temple,
began
to be throwing out {ekballo}
those
who were selling and buying in the temple {courts}.
And,
'turned over'/'threw down'{katastrepho}
the
tables of the moneychangers
and
the chairs of those selling doves, 16^^
and
He was not permitting anyone
to
carry merchandise through the temple {courts}.
11:17^^
Then He began to teach them and said,
"Does
it not stand written,
'My
house will be called a house of prayer for all nations'?
But,
as for you, you have made it 'a den of robbers!'"
11:18^^The
chief priests {Sadducees}
and
the experts in the law/'sacred scriptures' heard
and
they considered how
they
could kill/'utterly destroy' {apollumi} Him,
for
they were fearing Him
because
the whole crowd was amazed by His teaching.
11:19^^When evening came, they went out of the city.
{The
Withered Fig Tree}
11:20^^
In the morning as they passed by,
they
saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
11:21^^And,being
reminded, Peter says to Him,
"Rabbi,
look! The fig tree You cursed has withered."
11:22-23^^And,
Jesus 'had an answer'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai} said to them,
"Be
constantly having faith in God. 23^^
Point
of doctrine/I tell you the truth,
if
someone says to this mountain
-maybe
they do say it, maybe they do not -
'Be
lifted up and thrown in the sea,'
and
does not doubt in his right lobe/heart
but
believes that what he says will happen,
it
will be done for him."
11:24^^"For
this reason,
I
{Jesus} tell you,
all
things whatever you are praying and asking for,
be
believing that you received them,
and
they will be yours."
11:25^^"And
whenever you are standing, praying,
forgive,
if you have anything against a certain person,
in
order that your Father Who is in heaven
may
forgive you your trespasses."
{Note: Per Kenneth S. Wuest, verse 26 is not in the original.}
{The
Authority of Jesus}
11:27-28~~And,
they come again to Jerusalem.
And,
when He {Jesus} was walking in the temple {courts},
the
chief priests,
the
experts in the law and the elders come to Him 11:28^^
and
said, "By what sort of delegated authority
are
you doing these things?
Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
11:29-30^^
Jesus 'had an answer'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai} to them,
"I
will ask you concerning one point
and
answer Me and I will tell you by what authority
I
do these things . . . 11:30^^
John's
baptism . . .
was
it from heaven or from men?
Answer Me."
11:31-32^^And,
they were reasoning with themselves, saying,
"If
we say, 'From heaven,' He will say,
'Then
why did you not believe him?' 32^^
But
if we say, 'From men . . . ' "
{all thinking the mob would kill them}
(they
feared the crowd, for they all considered John to be truly a prophet).
11:33^^
So they 'had an answer'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of themselves' {apokrinomai}
and
said to Jesus, "We do not know."
And
Jesus 'had an answer'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of Himself' {apokrinomai} and said to them,
"Neither
will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."
