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














(4) Without in a place where two ways met.--Each touch is characteristic of St. Mark, and implies personal observation on the part of his informant. The colt was at the door--outside, not inside, the court-yard; it was not at "a place," but at "the place," as we speak of "the cross-roads," where two ways met.

Verse 4. - By the door without, in a place where two ways met (ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀμφόδου) literally, in the open street.
