Context of Mark 11:27

25Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him [drop the issue, let it go], so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions and wrongdoings [against Him and others]. 26[But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”] They came again to Jerusalem.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27Upon returning again to Jerusalem (see 11:1, 11, 15), Jesus and the disciples entered the temple.
