Joe: Alright, so the bible expert is here to tell us about the eleventh chapter of Mark. What can you tell us?

Bible Expert: Well, the eleventh chapter of Mark records Jesus' visit to Jerusalem and his triumphant entry into the city. He enters riding on a donkey and is greeted by a great crowd of people who praise him as the Messiah.

Joe: Wow, that's amazing! But what else happens?

Bible Expert: After entering the city, Jesus enters the temple and drives out the moneychangers and merchants, accusing them of turning the house of God into a den of thieves. He then curses a fig tree that had failed to provide fruit, and it withers away.

Joe: Whoa, I didn't know Jesus had a temper. What else?

Bible Expert: The chapter also records Jesus' teaching on faith and prayer. He tells his disciples that if they have faith, even the smallest amount, they can move mountains.

Joe: Great, great. And then what?

Bible Expert: Jesus then returns to Bethany and is asked for a sign to prove his authority. He responds by telling the people that if they are able to believe, all things are possible. The chapter ends with Jesus lamenting over the city of Jerusalem.
