Marcos 11:22

22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tened fe en Dios

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 Y pasando por la mañana, vieron que la higuera se había secado desde las raíces

21 Entonces Pedro acordándose, le dice: Maestro, he aquí la higuera que maldijiste, se ha secado

22 Y respondiendo Jesús, les dice: Tened fe en Dios

23 Porque de cierto os digo que cualquiera que dijere a este monte: Quítate, y échate en el mar, y no dudare en su corazón, mas creyere que será hecho lo que dice, lo que dijere le será hecho

24 Por tanto, os digo que todo lo que orando pidiereis, creed que lo recibiréis, y os vendrá
