Mk 11:1-26

  • Day 1:
    • the entry
      • riding on a colt, which no one had ever ridden
      • many people spread their cloak on the road
      • others spread branches they had cut in the fields
      • they shouted, 'Hosanna!'...
    • Jesus went to the temple
      • looked around at everything
    • Jesus left for Bethany with the Twelve
  • Day 2:
    • Jesus condemns the fig tree ('May no one ever eat fruit from you again.' On the next day this had been fulfilled--see below.)
    • Jesus clears the temple
    • they left Jerusalem in the evening
  • Day 3:
    • In the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the root;
    • v22: Have faith in God;
      • whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (v24);
      • forgive anyone whom you held hard feelings against when you pray -> so that your sins may be forgiven by God;
      • otherwise, your sins wouldn't be forgiven (v26);
