Day 46: October 28, 2025 – Deuteronomy 21-25 and Mark 11

The timing of Mark and Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, and then going into the temple and checking things out, but because it was late, he leaves and heads out and then the next day he clears the temple, is very different from the other Gospels. In fact, one detail that Mark has, and he was not a detailed person, is that “He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.” That’s pretty severe and a detail that none of the others contains. He was that assiduous about the temple and its purity. Something to remember.
