Mar 11:1 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Mark 11:1-25: 11:1–13:37 This section centers on Jesus’ relationship to the Jerusalem Temple. Mark’s geographical arrangement places in 11:1–16:8 all his accounts of Jesus’ teachings and events associated with Jerusalem. • The section concludes (13:1-37 ) with Jesus’ second extended teaching discourse (see 4:1-34 ), now focusing on the destruction of the Temple and the coming of the Son of Man. It is the climax for numerous statements within 11:1–13:37 concerning the divine judgment about to fall on Jerusalem and the Temple (see especially 11:12-25 and 12:1-12 ). 11:1 Jerusalem was Jesus’ goal. During the week before his crucifixion, Jesus apparently stayed in Bethany with his disciples (11:11-12 ; 14:3-9 ). • The Mount of Olives is frequently associated with the site of the final judgment (Zech 14:4 ) and the place where the Messiah will manifest himself (Ezek 11:23 ; 43:1-5 ; see also Josephus, Antiquities 20.8.6). • As he did at other times, Jesus sent two of them (see Mark 6:7 ).
