Markus 11:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:20

And in the morning, as they passed by
The fig tree; when they returned the next morning from Bethany, or the Mount of Olives, or the place, wherever it was, they had been that night:

they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots;
they did not see it immediately wither as it did, nor could they see it, as they went from Jerusalem to this place, because it was then in the evening; but in the morning, as they came along, they observed it; not only that the tender branches and boughs of it, but the trunk and body of the tree, and even the roots of it, were all dried up; so that it was entirely dead, and there was no room ever to expect it would revive, and bear any more fruit.

Markus 11:20 In-Context

18 En de Schriftgeleerden en de overpriesters hoorden dat, en zochten, hoe zij Hem doden zouden; want zij vreesden Hem, omdat de ganse schare ontzet was over Zijn leer.

19 En als het nu laat geworden was, ging Hij uit buiten de stad.

20 En des morgens vroeg voorbijgaande, zagen zij, dat de vijgeboom verdord was, van de wortelen af.

21 En Petrus, zulks indachtig geworden zijnde, zeide tot Hem: Rabbi, zie, de vijgeboom, dien Gij vervloekt hebt, is verdord.

22 En Jezus, antwoordende, zeide tot hen: Hebt geloof op God.
