7.6.09 Gn40, Mk11

Genesis 40:
During the time when Joseph was in jail, two of the king's sevant got thrown into the same place as Joseph. One is the king's cupbearer, the other the baker. One night they both had a dream but Joseph found out they were both sad, because no one was able to interpret the dream for them. Joseph had them tell him their dreams, and he interpreted them. The cupbearer dreamed about three branches and he was squeezing the grape juice into King Pharoah's cup. Joseph told him that three days later he would be back to his position. Joseph told the cupbearer to remember him when he got his job back. The baker also told him the dream: he had 3 laoves of bread on top of his head and the birds were eathing them. Joseph told him that in three days, he would be hanged and the birds will eat his flesh. In three days, on Pharoah's birthday, things happened exactly as Joseph predicted. the cupbearer lived and the baker died. However, the cupbearer forgot Joseph.

Mark 11:
Jesus and his disciples approached Jarusalem and out side of the city, Jesus told his disciples to get him a donkey and if anyone asked just tell them the master needed it. The disciples did so, and the owner of the donkey didn't stop the disciples after learning that Jesus needed it. After people put cloak on the donkey, he rode it and went into the city. More people gathered, and they put their cloaks on the ground and some put cut-off branches and Jesus entered stepping on them, with people cheering "Hosanna." Jesus then went to Bethany.
The next day at Bethany, Jesus was hungry, and he saw a fig tree and went to find out what he could get from the tree. However, the tree wasn't bearing any fruit, so Jesus cursed it to not bear anyfruit. He then went into the temple, and saw peole doing business in the temple, and he was angry, and chased out the peole and over turned the tables. Because he was remembering what God said that the temple was the house of prayer for all nations. Everyone who were there were all amazed. Then went out of the city again.
When Jesus and his disciples passed the fig tree again, the leaves were withered. Peter told Jesus to look at the scene. Jesus said to the disciples that if they have faith in God, then they could easilty throw mountains into seas. Therefore, he told them to have faith, and to blieve.
When they went back to Jerusalem again, Jesus was int eh temple courts, and the chief priests and the elders and the teachers of the laws questioned him where he got the authority to do things. He then asked back a question: was John's baptism from heaven of earth? The hypocrits couldn't answer, so Jesus didn't answer their questions either.
