Mark 11:7-17

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.

8 And many ¹spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.

9 And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, ²"Hosanna! ³Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

10 Blessed is ⁴the coming ⁵kingdom of ⁶our father ⁷David! ⁸Hosanna ⁹in the highest!"

11 ¹⁰And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, ¹¹he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

12 ¹²On the following day, when they came from Bethany, ¹³he was hungry.

13 ¹⁴And 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 ¹⁵it 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 ¹⁶And 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 ¹⁷the money-changers and the seats of those who sold ¹⁸pigeons.

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, ¹⁹'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But ²⁰you have made it a den of robbers."
