Marcos 11:18 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:18

And the Scribes and chief priests heard it
The reproof he gave to the money changers, and buyers, and sellers in the temple; and his strict prohibition that none should carry any vessels through it; and the argument he used from the prophecy of Isaiah, and the sharp rebuke he gave for the profanation of the holy place:

and sought how they might destroy him:
they took counsel together to take away his life, for they hated reformation:

for they feared him;
lest he should go on to make great changes and alterations among them, which would affect their credit and character, and their gains also, and draw the people after him:

because all the people were astonished at his doctrine;
both as to the matter of it, which were such words as never man spake; and, as to the manner of it, being with such majesty, power, and authority, as the Scribes and Pharisees taught not with; and also at the miracles, by which it was confirmed, as well as at the reformation and discipline he was introducing; which was done with such an air of sovereignty and power, as was amazing.

Marcos 11:18 In-Context

16 e não consentia que ninguém atravessasse o templo levando qualquer utensílio;

17 e ensinava, dizendo-lhes: Não está escrito: A minha casa será chamada casa de oração para todas as nações? Vós, porém, a tendes feito covil de salteadores.

18 Ora, os principais sacerdotes e os escribas ouviram isto, e procuravam um modo de o matar; pois o temiam, porque toda a multidão se maravilhava da sua doutrina.

19 Ao cair da tarde, saíam da cidade.

20 Quando passavam na manhã seguinte, viram que a figueira tinha secado desde as raízes.
