Summary of events:

1. Jesus has concluded His Galilean and Perean ministry, crossed the Jordan River, entered Jericho, healed two blind men, one by the name of Bartimaeus, brought Zacchaeus into the Kingdom and traveled to Jerusalem for Passover.
2. Having arrived in the vicinity of Jerusalem, He stays in the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus that first Saturday night and then spent Sunday with the multitude who either followed Him or actually lived in Bethany.
3. On Monday, He sent His disciples to find the colt, which He rode triumphantly into the city of Jerusalem while the multitudes threw palm branches and clothing in His path and hailed Him, "Hosanna, blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord, the Son of David." Then, once again, He returned to Bethany to spend the night in the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus.
4. On Tuesday, He returned to Jerusalem and cleansed the temple – chasing out those who sold animal sacrifices and those who changed money. And by doing so, He infuriated the religious leaders who already despised Him and wanted Him dead. Then, once again, He returns to Bethany to spend the night with Mary, Martha and Lazarus.
5. On Wednesday, He curses the unfruitful fig tree and then proceeds on to the temple where He will spend the next 2 chapters of Matthew confronting the wickedness of Israel’s spiritual leadership, which will end in His crucifixion.
