Mark 11:10-20

10 Blessed is ¹the coming ²kingdom of ³our father ⁴David! ⁵Hosanna ⁶in the highest!"

11 ⁷And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, ⁸he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

12 ⁹On the following day, when they came from Bethany, ¹⁰he was hungry.

13 ¹¹And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for ¹²it was not the season for figs.

14 And he said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

15 ¹³And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of ¹⁴the money-changers and the seats of those who sold ¹⁵pigeons.

16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple.

17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, ¹⁶'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But ¹⁷you have made it a den of robbers."

18 And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and ¹⁸were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because ¹⁹all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.

19 ²⁰And when evening came they^[a] went out of the city.
