Mateo 21:22

22 Si ustedes creen, recibirán todo lo que pidan en oración.

Mateo 21:22 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:22

And all things whatsoever
Not only miracles, but any other thing which may be for the honour of God, the interest of religion, the spreading of the Gospel, the enlargement of the kingdom, of Christ, their own spiritual good, and the welfare of immortal souls,

ye shall ask in prayer, believing.
Munster's Hebrew Gospel reads it, "in prayer, and in faith"; and the Arabic version renders it, "in prayer with faith"; both to the same purpose, and aptly express the sense of the words, which design the prayer of faith; or that prayer which is put up in the strength of faith; and is of great avail with God: for whatever is asked in faith, agreeable to the will of God, which is contained in his covenant, word, and promises, and makes for his glory, and the good of his people, shall be given, be it what it will; though to carnal sense and reason it may seem impracticable and impossible:

ye shall receive;
of God, through Christ, freely and fully, and shall have and enjoy them, either they themselves, if asked for themselves, or others, for whom they are asked.

Mateo 21:22 In-Context

20 Los discípulos se asombraron al ver esto.—¿Cómo es que se secó la higuera tan pronto? —preguntaron ellos.

21 —Les aseguro que si tienen fe y no dudan —les respondió Jesús—, no solo harán lo que he hecho con la higuera, sino que podrán decirle a este monte: “¡Quítate de ahí y tírate al mar!”, y así se hará.

22 Si ustedes creen, recibirán todo lo que pidan en oración.

23 Jesús entró en el templo y, mientras enseñaba, se le acercaron los jefes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos del pueblo.—¿Con qué autoridad haces esto? —lo interrogaron—. ¿Quién te dio esa autoridad?

24 —Yo también voy a hacerles una pregunta. Si me la contestan, les diré con qué autoridad hago esto.
