Mark 11
1. Jesus rides with triumph into Jerusalem;
12. curses the fruitless fig tree;

20. exhorts his disciples to steadfastness of faith, and to forgive their enemies;
27. and defends his actions by the witness of John, who was a man sent of God.














(8) Branches off the trees.--The Greek word for "branches" is used by St. Mark only. It describes the leafy boughs forming, as they were thrown down, a kind of litter or matting, rather than the woody branches.

Off the trees.--The better MSS. give "from the fields," a reading which, perhaps, agrees better with the account of the "branches" given in the preceding Note.

And strawed them in the way.--Omitted in the better MSS.

Verse 8. - Others cut down branches off the trees, etc. According to the best authorities, the words should be rendered, and others branches (or, leaves, for strewing), which thy had cut from the fields (ἄλλοι δὲ στοιβάδας κόψαντες ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν). The branches were cut in the fields; and the smaller, leafy portions of them, suitable for their purpose, were carried out.
