Mark 11:23

23 I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 1

Mark 11:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:23

For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto
this mountain
The Mount of Olives, at, or near which they now were,

be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea;
that is, of Galilee, which was nearest, and yet many miles off:

and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass;
not only as to removing a mountain, and casting it into the sea, but any thing equally difficult;

he shall have whatsoever he saith:
whatever he commands shall be done; (See Gill on Matthew 21:21).

Mark 11:23 In-Context

21 Peter remembered what had happened and said to Jesus, "Look, Teacher, the fig tree you cursed has died!"
22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
24 For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.
25 And when you stand and pray, forgive anything you may have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive the wrongs you have done."
