Really?

Matthew claims Jesus drove out the money changers and then cursed the fig tree the next morning.

Mark claims Jesus cursed the fig tree one morning, and then drove out the money changers later that same day.

Which is it?

Both incidents happened. One apostle remembered the order differently than the other...hardly a contradiction. More like a glitch in the reporter's memory. These were eyewitnesses, who remember WHAT they saw, not necessarily when. As if the NYT, Wall Street Journal and The Jerusalem Post always get the order correct.

Besides the fig tree/money changers is a BIG, IMPORTANT occurance in Biblical history. /sarc
