Marcos 11:22 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:22

And Jesus answering, saith unto them
To all the disciples; for what Peter said, he said in the name of them all; and according to Matthew, the disciples said, "how soon is the fig tree withered away?" To which this is an answer; though the Arabic version renders it, "to him"; as if the words were directed particularly to Peter:

have faith in God;
or "the faith of God", so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; that is, exercise, and make use of that faith which has God for its author, which is the work of God, and of his operation, a free grace gift of his; and which has God for its object; and is supported by his power, and encouraged by his goodness, truth, and faithfulness: and so the Arabic version renders it, "believe in God"; not only that such things may be done, as the drying up a fig tree, but those that are much greater.

Marcos 11:22 In-Context

20 Por la mañana, cuando pasaban, vieron la higuera seca desde las raíces.

21 Entonces Pedro, acordándose, le dijo<***>: Rabí, mira, la higuera que maldijiste se ha secado.

22 Y Jesús respondió<***>, diciéndoles: Tened fe en Dios.

23 En verdad os digo que cualquiera que diga a este monte: "Quítate y arrójate al mar", y no dude en su corazón, sino crea que lo que dice va a suceder, le será concedido.

24 Por eso os digo que todas las cosas por las que oréis y pidáis, creed que ya las habéis recibido, y os serán concedidas.
