Mark 11:12 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:12

And on the morrow
The next day early in the morning,

when they were come from Bethany;
Christ, and his twelve disciples. The Syriac and Persic versions read, "when he came out of Bethany"; though not alone, but with the twelve disciples, who went with him there, and returned with him, as appears from ( Mark 11:14 ) , as he and they came out of that place early in the morning, having ate nothing, before they came from thence,

he was hungry; (See Gill on Matthew 21:18).

Mark 11:12 In-Context

10 Blessings on the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest!"

11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. After he looked around at everything, because it was already late in the evening, he returned to Bethany with the Twelve.

12 The next day, after leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

13 From far away, he noticed a fig tree in leaf, so he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing except leaves, since it wasn't the season for figs.

14 So he said to it, "No one will ever again eat your fruit!" His disciples heard this.
