Texts -- Mark 11:1-20 (NET)

Context
The Triumphal Entry
11:1 Now as they approached Jerusalem , near Bethphage and Bethany , at the Mount of Olives , Jesus sent two of his disciples 11:2 and said to them , “Go to the village ahead of you . As soon as you enter it , you will find a colt tied there that has never been ridden . Untie it and bring it here. 11:3 If anyone says to you , ‘Why are you doing this ?’ say , ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here soon .’” 11:4 So they went and found a colt tied at a door , outside in the street , and untied it . 11:5 Some people standing there said to them , “What are you doing , untying that colt ?” 11:6 They replied as Jesus had told them , and the bystanders let them go . 11:7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus , threw their cloaks on it , and he sat on it . 11:8 Many spread their cloaks on the road and others spread branches they had cut in the fields . 11:9 Both those who went ahead and those who followed kept shouting , “Hosanna ! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord ! 11:10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David ! Hosanna in the highest !” 11:11 Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went to the temple . And after looking around at everything , he went out to Bethany with the twelve since it was already late .
Cursing of the Fig Tree
11:12 Now the next day , as they went out from Bethany , he was hungry . 11:13 After noticing in the distance a fig tree with leaves , he went to see if he could find any fruit on it . When he came to it he found nothing but leaves , for it was not the season for figs . 11:14 He said to it , “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.
Cleansing the Temple
11:15 Then they came to Jerusalem . Jesus entered the temple area and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in the temple courts . He turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves , 11:16 and he would not permit anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts . 11:17 Then he began to teach them and said , “Is it not written : ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations ’? But you have turned it into a den of robbers !” 11:18 The chief priests and the experts in the law heard it and they considered how they could assassinate him , for they feared him , because the whole crowd was amazed by his teaching . 11:19 When evening came , Jesus and his disciples went out of the city .
The Withered Fig Tree
11:20 In the morning as they passed by , they saw the fig tree withered from the roots .
