bullet"After entering the city and temple and observing the condition of things within the sacred building he retired to Bethany for the night. As far as we know he passed all his nights of the last week of his earthly life at Bethany, save Thursday, perhaps to avoid the rulers in the hours of rest and to have an opportunity for private conference with his disciples, which he could not have in crowded Jerusalem. Besides, he had loving friends at Bethany, who delighted to have him under their roof."
bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet A Brief Commentary on the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 11 - 12, Carl W. Conrad. (Click superscript numbers for commentary.)
bullet "Jesus Enters Jerusalem as Messiah," Michael A. Turton's Historical Commentary on the Gospel of Mark, "a complete verse-by-verse commentary on the Gospel of Mark, focusing on the historicity of people, places, events, and sayings in the world of the Gospel of Mark."

bullet "Exegetical Considerations," Sunday of the Passion, Richard Carlson, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Using Greek for Sunday Text Preparations.
bullet"What is very strange about Jesus riding a colt on which no one has ever sat?"

bullet "Jesus Enters Jerusalem," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources. Includes detailed textual notes.
bullet Holy Textures, Understanding the Bible in its own time and in ours, Mark 11:1-11, David Ewart.
bullet"Now Jerusalem is not a large city. And what the authors of the Bible take for granted and fail to mention is that while Jesus is parading in on a colt through one of the back gates, on the other side of the city Pilate is parading in on a war horse accompanied by a squadron or two of battle hardened Roman soldiers."
bullet Join the Feast, Mark 11:1-11, Kirby Lawrence Hill, Union PSCE, 2009.
bullet"Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan suggest there was not only a procession from the Mount of Olives on the east that day, but also a Roman procession entering from the west, which would have had as a focal point the Roman governor named Pontius Pilate. The juxtaposition of these two processions would have set up quite a contrast."
bullet "Donkey Fetchers," Thomas G. Long, The Christian Century, 2006.
bullet"In Mark’s world, 'preparing the way of the Lord' usually looks like standing hip-deep in the mire of some stable trying to corral a donkey for Jesus."
bullet "Hosanna!" Jerry Goebel, One Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study and activities.
bullet"Hosanna is not a prayer for self-salvation, but for community salvation."
bullet "Protest March: Palm Sunday Examined," Fred Craddock, The Christian Century, 2003.
bullet"The final Sunday of Lent is therefore marked by a celebratory parade, which was also a protest march. Only Jesus knew that the same event was also a funeral procession."
bullet Marginally Mark, by Brian McGowan, Anglican priest in Western Australia.
bullet"This Palm Sunday can we get beyond a scrap of palm we never know what to do with, & a feel- good procession that leads to nowhere?"
bullet "Who is He Kidding?" David F. Wells, The Christian Century, 2000. Religion Online.
bullet"So much of Mark’s gospel seems to be some kind of joke. The defining moment of our ministry may leave us feeling foolish too. It comes when we, like Jesus, realize we are near the end of our journey; and we finally face up to evil, bringing nothing in our hands but what he had: peace and truth and love."
