Lesson 3314

 (Lesson 3314)(01-29-21) Mark 11:15-18

    “And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.”

    Today’s quote relates that after Jesus cleared the money changers and sacrifice merchants out of the temple, the chief priests of the Jews set about to destroy Him. 

    NOTE: In yesterday’s lesson I wrote that today’s lesson would clarify why Jesus cursed the fig tree. That was a mistake on my part, that clarification will be a part of tomorrow’s lesson. I’m sorry for the error and will try to do better. ~
