Mark 11:21 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:21

And Peter, calling to remembrance
Not so much the tree, and its spreading leaves, and the greatness of it, and the flourishing condition it was in, the other day, as the imprecation of Christ upon it:

saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is
withered away;
which he observed, as matter of astonishment, and as an instance of Christ's surprising power and authority; (See Gill on Matthew 21:20).
