THE BARREN FIG TREE CURSED WITH LESSONS FROM IT--SECOND CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE, ON THE SECOND AND THIRD DAYS OF THE WEEK. ( = Mat 21:12-22; Luk 19:45-48). (Mark 11:11-26)
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon--surveyed.
all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out into Bethany with the twelve--Thus briefly does our Evangelist dispose of this His first day in Jerusalem, after the triumphal entry. Nor do the Third and Fourth Gospels give us more light. But from Matthew (Mat 21:10-11, Mat 21:14-16) we learn some additional and precious particulars, for which see on Luk 19:45-48. It was not now safe for the Lord to sleep in the city, nor, from the day of His Triumphal Entry, did He pass one night in it, save the last fatal one.
The Barren Fig Tree Cursed (Mar 11:12-14). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
See this passage explained in the notes at Mat 21:18-22.
Mar 11:11
Into the temple - Not into the edifice properly called "the temple," but into the "courts" which surrounded the principal edifice. Our Saviour, not being of the tribe of Levi, was not permitted to enter into the holy or most holy place; and when, therefore, it is said that he went into the "temple," it is always to be understood of the "courts" surrounding the temple. See the notes at Mat 21:12.
And when he had looked round about upon all things - Having seen or examined everything. He saw the abominations and abuses which he afterward corrected. It may be a matter of wonder that he did not "at once" correct them, instead of waiting to another day; but it may be observed that God is slow to anger; that he does not "at once" smite the guilty, but waits patiently before he rebukes and chastises.
The eventide - The evening; the time after three o'clock p. m. It is very probable that this was before sunset. The religious services of the temple closed at the offering of the evening sacrifice, at three o'clock, and Jesus probably soon left the city.
Mar 11:13, Mar 11:14
Afar off - See the notes at Mat 21:19.
Mar 11:15-24
See the notes at Mat 21:12-22.
Mar 11:16
Any vessel - Any vessel used in cooking, or connected with the sale of their articles of merchandise.
Mar 11:18
All the people were astonished - He became popular among them. The Pharisees saw that their authority was lessened or destroyed. They were therefore envious of him, and sought his life.
His doctrine - His teaching. He taught with power and authority so great that the multitudes were awed, and were constrained to obey.
Mar 11:21
Thou cursedst - To curse means to devote to destruction. This is its meaning here. It does not in this place imply blame, but simply that it should be destroyed.
Mar 11:22
Have faith in God - Literally, "Have the faith of God." This may mean, have strong faith, or have confidence in God; a strong belief that he is able to accomplish things that appear most difficult with infinite ease, as the fig-tree was made to wither away by a word.
Mar 11:25
And when ye stand praying - When ye pray. It seems that the posture in prayer was sometimes standing and sometimes kneeling. God looks upon "the heart" rather than upon our position in worship; and if the heart be right, any posture may be proper. It cannot be doubted, however, that in private, in the family, and wherever it can be conveniently done, the kneeling posture is more proper, as expressing more humility and reverence, and more in accordance with Scripture examples. Compare Psa 95:6; Ch2 6:13; Dan 6:10; Luk 22:41; Act 7:60; Act 9:40. Yet a subject like this may be made of too much consequence, and we should be careful that anxiety about a mere form should not exclude anxiety about a far more important matter - the state of the soul.
Forgive ... - See the notes at Mat 6:12, Mat 6:25. |

When he had looked round
Peculiar to Mark. As the master of the house, inspecting. "A look serious, sorrowful, judicial" (Meyer). Compare Mar 3:5, Mar 3:34. |

When he had looked round about upon all things - He examined every thing - to see if the matters pertaining to the Divine worship were properly conducted; to see that nothing was wanting - nothing superfluous.
And now the eventide was come - The time in which he usually left Jerusalem, to go to Bethany. |
12 And [2532] on the morrow [1887], when they [846] were come [1831] from [575] Bethany [963], he was hungry [3983]:
13 And [2532] seeing [1492] a fig tree [4808] afar off [3113] having [2192] leaves [5444], he came [2064], if [1487] haply [686] he might find [2147] any thing [5100] thereon [1722] [846]: and [2532] when he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], he found [2147] nothing [3762] but [1508] leaves [5444]; for [1063] the time [2540] of figs [4810] was [2258] not [3756] yet.
14 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto it [846], No man [3367] eat [5315] fruit [2590] of [1537] thee [4675] hereafter [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] heard [191] it.
45 And [2532] he went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411], and began [756] to cast out [1544] them that sold [4453] therein [1722] [846], and [2532] them that bought [59];
46 Saying [3004] unto them [846], It is written [1125], My [3450] house [3624] is [2076] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]: but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027].
47 And [2532] he taught [2258] [1321] daily [2596] [2250] in [1722] the temple [2411]. But [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the chief [4413] of the people [2992] sought [2212] to destroy [622] him [846],
48 And [2532] could [2147] not [3756] find [2147] what [5101] they might do [4160]: for [1063] all [537] the people [2992] were very attentive [1582] to hear [191] him [846].
14 And [2532] the blind [5185] and [2532] the lame [5560] came [4334] to him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846].
15 And [1161] when the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] saw [1492] the wonderful things [2297] that [3739] he did [4160], and [2532] the children [3816] crying [2896] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] saying [3004], Hosanna [5614] to the Son [5207] of David [1138]; they were sore displeased [23],
16 And [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Hearest thou [191] what [5101] these [3778] say [3004]? And [1161] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Yea [3483]; have ye never [3763] read [314], [3754] Out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of babes [3516] and [2532] sucklings [2337] thou hast perfected [2675] praise [136]?
10 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1525] into [1519] Jerusalem [2414], all [3956] the city [4172] was moved [4579], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778]?
11 And [1161] the multitude [3793] said [3004], This [3778] is [2076] Jesus [2424] the prophet [4396] of [575] Nazareth [3478] of Galilee [1056].
45 And [2532] he went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411], and began [756] to cast out [1544] them that sold [4453] therein [1722] [846], and [2532] them that bought [59];
46 Saying [3004] unto them [846], It is written [1125], My [3450] house [3624] is [2076] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]: but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027].
47 And [2532] he taught [2258] [1321] daily [2596] [2250] in [1722] the temple [2411]. But [1161] the chief priests [749] and [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] the chief [4413] of the people [2992] sought [2212] to destroy [622] him [846],
48 And [2532] could [2147] not [3756] find [2147] what [5101] they might do [4160]: for [1063] all [537] the people [2992] were very attentive [1582] to hear [191] him [846].
12 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] of God [2316], and [2532] cast out [1544] all them [3956] that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them that sold [4453] doves [4058],
13 And [2532] said [3004] unto them [846], It is written [1125], My [3450] house [3624] shall be called [2564] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]; but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027].
14 And [2532] the blind [5185] and [2532] the lame [5560] came [4334] to him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846].
15 And [1161] when the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] saw [1492] the wonderful things [2297] that [3739] he did [4160], and [2532] the children [3816] crying [2896] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] saying [3004], Hosanna [5614] to the Son [5207] of David [1138]; they were sore displeased [23],
16 And [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Hearest thou [191] what [5101] these [3778] say [3004]? And [1161] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Yea [3483]; have ye never [3763] read [314], [3754] Out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of babes [3516] and [2532] sucklings [2337] thou hast perfected [2675] praise [136]?
17 And [2532] he left [2641] them [846], and went [1831] out of [1854] the city [4172] into [1519] Bethany [963]; and [2532] he lodged [835] there [1563].
18 Now [1161] in the morning [4405] as he returned [1877] into [1519] the city [4172], he hungered [3983].
19 And [2532] when he saw [1492] a [3391] fig tree [4808] in [1909] the way [3598], he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], and [2532] found [2147] nothing [3762] thereon [1722] [846], but [1508] leaves [5444] only [3440], and [2532] said [3004] unto it [846], Let no [1096] fruit [2590] grow [1096] on [1537] thee [4675] henceforward [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] presently [3916] the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583].
20 And [2532] when the disciples [3101] saw [1492] it, they marvelled [2296], saying [3004], How [4459] soon [3916] is the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583] !
21 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], If [1437] ye have [2192] faith [4102], and [2532] doubt [1252] not [3361], ye shall [4160] not [3756] only [3440] do [4160] this [3440] which is done to the fig tree [4808], but [235] also if [2579] ye shall say [2036] unto this [5129] mountain [3735], Be thou removed [142], and [2532] be thou cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]; it shall be done [1096].
22 And [2532] all things [3956], whatsoever [302] [3745] ye shall ask [154] in [1722] prayer [4335], believing [4100], ye shall receive [2983].
25 Therefore [1223] [5124] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Take no [3361] thought [3309] for your [5216] life [5590], what [5101] ye shall eat [5315], or [2532] what [5101] ye shall drink [4095]; nor yet for [3366] your [5216] body [4983], what [5101] ye shall put on [1746]. Is [2076] not [3780] the life [5590] more than [4119] meat [5160], and [2532] the body [4983] than raiment [1742]?
12 And [2532] forgive [863] us [2254] our [2257] debts [3783], as [2532] [5613] we [2249] forgive [863] our [2257] debtors [3781].
40 But [1161] Peter [4074] put [1544] them all [3956] forth [1854], and kneeled down [5087] [1119], and prayed [4336]; and [2532] turning [1994] him to [4314] the body [4983] said [2036], Tabitha [5000], arise [450]. And [1161] she opened [455] her [846] eyes [3788]: and [2532] when she saw [1492] Peter [4074], she sat up [339].
60 And [1161] he kneeled down [5087] [1119], and cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Lord [2962], lay [2476] not [3361] this [5026] sin [266] to their [846] charge. And [2532] when he had said [2036] this [5124], he fell asleep [2837].
41 And [2532] he [846] was withdrawn [645] from [575] them [846] about [5616] a stone's [3037] cast [1000], and [2532] kneeled down [5087] [1119], and prayed [4336],
10 Now when Daniel [01841] knew [03046] that the writing [03792] was signed [07560], he went [05954] into his house [01005]; and his windows [03551] being open [06606] in his chamber [05952] toward [05049] Jerusalem [03390], he kneeled [01289] upon [05922] his knees [01291] three [08532] times [02166] a day [03118], and prayed [06739], and gave thanks [03029] before [06925] his God [0426], as [06903] [03606] he did [01934] [05648] aforetime [04481] [01836] [06928].
13 For Solomon [08010] had made [06213] a brasen [05178] scaffold [03595], of five [02568] cubits [0520] long [0753], and five [02568] cubits [0520] broad [07341], and three [07969] cubits [0520] high [06967], and had set [05414] it in the midst [08432] of the court [05835]: and upon it he stood [05975], and kneeled down [01288] upon his knees [01290] before all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], and spread forth [06566] his hands [03709] toward heaven [08064],
6 O come [0935], let us worship [07812] and bow down [03766]: let us kneel [01288] before [06440] the LORD [03068] our maker [06213].
25 And [2532] when [3752] ye stand [4739] praying [4336], forgive [863], if [1536] ye have [2192] ought [1536] against [2596] any [5100]: that [2443] your [5216] Father [3962] also [2532] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772] may forgive [863] you [5213] your [5216] trespasses [3900].
22 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] saith [3004] unto them [846], Have [2192] faith [4102] in God [2316].
21 And [2532] Peter [4074] calling to remembrance [363] saith [3004] unto him [846], Master [4461], behold [2396], the fig tree [4808] which [3739] thou cursedst [2672] is withered away [3583].
18 And [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] chief priests [749] heard [191] it, and [2532] sought [2212] how [4459] they might destroy [622] him [846]: for [1063] they feared [5399] him [846], because [3754] all [3956] the people [3793] was astonished [1605] at [1909] his [846] doctrine [1322].
16 And [2532] would [863] not [3756] suffer [863] that [2443] any man [5100] should carry [1308] any vessel [4632] through [1223] the temple [2411].
12 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] of God [2316], and [2532] cast out [1544] all them [3956] that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them that sold [4453] doves [4058],
13 And [2532] said [3004] unto them [846], It is written [1125], My [3450] house [3624] shall be called [2564] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]; but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027].
14 And [2532] the blind [5185] and [2532] the lame [5560] came [4334] to him [846] in [1722] the temple [2411]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846].
15 And [1161] when the chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122] saw [1492] the wonderful things [2297] that [3739] he did [4160], and [2532] the children [3816] crying [2896] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] saying [3004], Hosanna [5614] to the Son [5207] of David [1138]; they were sore displeased [23],
16 And [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Hearest thou [191] what [5101] these [3778] say [3004]? And [1161] Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], Yea [3483]; have ye never [3763] read [314], [3754] Out of [1537] the mouth [4750] of babes [3516] and [2532] sucklings [2337] thou hast perfected [2675] praise [136]?
17 And [2532] he left [2641] them [846], and went [1831] out of [1854] the city [4172] into [1519] Bethany [963]; and [2532] he lodged [835] there [1563].
18 Now [1161] in the morning [4405] as he returned [1877] into [1519] the city [4172], he hungered [3983].
19 And [2532] when he saw [1492] a [3391] fig tree [4808] in [1909] the way [3598], he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], and [2532] found [2147] nothing [3762] thereon [1722] [846], but [1508] leaves [5444] only [3440], and [2532] said [3004] unto it [846], Let no [1096] fruit [2590] grow [1096] on [1537] thee [4675] henceforward [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] presently [3916] the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583].
20 And [2532] when the disciples [3101] saw [1492] it, they marvelled [2296], saying [3004], How [4459] soon [3916] is the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583] !
21 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], If [1437] ye have [2192] faith [4102], and [2532] doubt [1252] not [3361], ye shall [4160] not [3756] only [3440] do [4160] this [3440] which is done to the fig tree [4808], but [235] also if [2579] ye shall say [2036] unto this [5129] mountain [3735], Be thou removed [142], and [2532] be thou cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]; it shall be done [1096].
22 And [2532] all things [3956], whatsoever [302] [3745] ye shall ask [154] in [1722] prayer [4335], believing [4100], ye shall receive [2983].
15 And [2532] they come [2064] to [1519] Jerusalem [2414]: and [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411], and began [756] to cast out [1544] them that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them [846] that sold [4453] doves [4058];
16 And [2532] would [863] not [3756] suffer [863] that [2443] any man [5100] should carry [1308] any vessel [4632] through [1223] the temple [2411].
17 And [2532] he taught [1321], saying [3004] unto them [846], Is it [1125] not [3756] written [1125], [3754] My [3450] house [3624] shall be called [2564] of all [3956] nations [1484] the house [3624] of prayer [4335]? but [1161] ye [5210] have made [4160] it [846] a den [4693] of thieves [3027].
18 And [2532] the scribes [1122] and [2532] chief priests [749] heard [191] it, and [2532] sought [2212] how [4459] they might destroy [622] him [846]: for [1063] they feared [5399] him [846], because [3754] all [3956] the people [3793] was astonished [1605] at [1909] his [846] doctrine [1322].
19 And [2532] when [3753] even [3796] was come [1096], he went [1607] out of [1854] the city [4172].
20 And [2532] in the morning [4404], as they passed by [3899], they saw [1492] the fig tree [4808] dried up [3583] from [1537] the roots [4491].
21 And [2532] Peter [4074] calling to remembrance [363] saith [3004] unto him [846], Master [4461], behold [2396], the fig tree [4808] which [3739] thou cursedst [2672] is withered away [3583].
22 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answering [611] saith [3004] unto them [846], Have [2192] faith [4102] in God [2316].
23 For [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3739] [302] shall say [2036] unto this [5129] mountain [3735], Be thou removed [142], and [2532] be thou cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]; and [2532] shall [1252] not [3361] doubt [1252] in [1722] his [846] heart [2588], but [235] shall believe [4100] that [3754] those things which [3739] he saith [3004] shall come to pass [1096]; he [846] shall have [2071] whatsoever [3739] [1437] he saith [2036].
24 Therefore [1223] [5124] I say [3004] unto you [5213], What [3745] things [3956] soever [302] ye desire [154], when ye pray [4336], believe [4100] that [3754] ye receive [2983] them, and [2532] ye [5213] shall have [2071] them.
19 And [2532] when he saw [1492] a [3391] fig tree [4808] in [1909] the way [3598], he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], and [2532] found [2147] nothing [3762] thereon [1722] [846], but [1508] leaves [5444] only [3440], and [2532] said [3004] unto it [846], Let no [1096] fruit [2590] grow [1096] on [1537] thee [4675] henceforward [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] presently [3916] the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583].
14 And [2532] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto it [846], No man [3367] eat [5315] fruit [2590] of [1537] thee [4675] hereafter [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] heard [191] it.
13 And [2532] seeing [1492] a fig tree [4808] afar off [3113] having [2192] leaves [5444], he came [2064], if [1487] haply [686] he might find [2147] any thing [5100] thereon [1722] [846]: and [2532] when he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], he found [2147] nothing [3762] but [1508] leaves [5444]; for [1063] the time [2540] of figs [4810] was [2258] not [3756] yet.
12 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1525] into [1519] the temple [2411] of God [2316], and [2532] cast out [1544] all them [3956] that sold [4453] and [2532] bought [59] in [1722] the temple [2411], and [2532] overthrew [2690] the tables [5132] of the moneychangers [2855], and [2532] the seats [2515] of them that sold [4453] doves [4058],
11 And [2532] Jesus [2424] entered [1525] into [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] into [1519] the temple [2411]: and [2532] when he had looked round about upon [4017] all things [3956], and now [2235] the eventide [3798] [5610] was come [5607], he went out [1831] unto [1519] Bethany [963] with [3326] the twelve [1427].
18 Now [1161] in the morning [4405] as he returned [1877] into [1519] the city [4172], he hungered [3983].
19 And [2532] when he saw [1492] a [3391] fig tree [4808] in [1909] the way [3598], he came [2064] to [1909] it [846], and [2532] found [2147] nothing [3762] thereon [1722] [846], but [1508] leaves [5444] only [3440], and [2532] said [3004] unto it [846], Let no [1096] fruit [2590] grow [1096] on [1537] thee [4675] henceforward [3371] for [1519] ever [165]. And [2532] presently [3916] the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583].
20 And [2532] when the disciples [3101] saw [1492] it, they marvelled [2296], saying [3004], How [4459] soon [3916] is the fig tree [4808] withered away [3583] !
21 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], If [1437] ye have [2192] faith [4102], and [2532] doubt [1252] not [3361], ye shall [4160] not [3756] only [3440] do [4160] this [3440] which is done to the fig tree [4808], but [235] also if [2579] ye shall say [2036] unto this [5129] mountain [3735], Be thou removed [142], and [2532] be thou cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281]; it shall be done [1096].
22 And [2532] all things [3956], whatsoever [302] [3745] ye shall ask [154] in [1722] prayer [4335], believing [4100], ye shall receive [2983].
34 And [2532] he looked [4017] round about [2945] on them which [3588] sat [2521] about [4012] him [846], and said [3004], Behold [2396] my [3450] mother [3384] and [2532] my [3450] brethren [80]!
5 And [2532] when he had looked round about [4017] on them [846] with [3326] anger [3709], being grieved [4818] for [1909] the hardness [4457] of their [846] hearts [2588], he saith [3004] unto the man [444], Stretch forth [1614] thine [4675] hand [5495]. And [2532] he stretched it out [1614]: and [2532] his [846] hand [5495] was restored [600] whole [5199] as [5613] the other [243].
17 And [2532] he left [2641] them [846], and went [1831] out of [1854] the city [4172] into [1519] Bethany [963]; and [2532] he lodged [835] there [1563].
10 And [2532] when he [846] was come [1525] into [1519] Jerusalem [2414], all [3956] the city [4172] was moved [4579], saying [3004], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778]?
