In this excerpt, the narrative captures the moment when Jesus enters Jerusalem, stirring the city’s inhabitants who inquire about his identity. The crowds proclaim him as the prophet from Nazareth. Upon entering the temple, Jesus confronts the commercial activities taking place, driving out the merchants and declaring that the temple should be a house of prayer, not a den of robbers. He then heals the blind and lame who come to him. The scene shifts to Mark’s account, where Jesus, after surveying the temple, leaves for Bethany with his disciples. The following day, he encounters a fig tree that bears no fruit, despite its leaves, and curses it, declaring that no one will eat from it again. In Luke’s version, some Pharisees urge Jesus to silence his disciples, but he responds that if they remain quiet, even the stones will cry out.
