Markus 11:24

24 Darum sage ich euch: Alles, was ihr bittet in eurem Gebet, glaubet nur, daß ihr's empfangen werdet, so wird's euch werden.

Markus 11:24 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:24

Therefore I say unto you
For encouragement in prayer more particularly, without which nothing should be attempted, and especially which is above the power of nature, and is of a miraculous kind:

whatsoever things ye desire when ye pray;
that is, according to the revealed will of God, is for the confirmation of his Gospel, and for the glory of his name:

believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them];
the petitions that are desired, and the things asked in them: that is, be as much assured of having them, as if you had already received them, and you shall have them; for the sense can never be, that they should believe they received them before they had them; this would be a contradiction in terms; and Beza's ancient copy, and one of Stephens's copies read it, "believe that ye shall receive", as in ( Matthew 21:22 ) , and so the Vulgate Latin version; with which agree the Arabic and Ethiopic versions, which render it, "believe that ye shall enjoy", or "obtain"; and the Syriac version, "believe that ye are about to receive"; and great faith it is so to believe; and this is the prayer of faith; see ( 1 John 5:14 1 John 5:15 ) .

Markus 11:24 In-Context

22 Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Habt Glauben an Gott.

23 Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Wer zu diesem Berge spräche: Hebe dich und wirf dich ins Meer! und zweifelte nicht in seinem Herzen, sondern glaubte, daß es geschehen würde, was er sagt, so wird's ihm geschehen, was er sagt.

24 Darum sage ich euch: Alles, was ihr bittet in eurem Gebet, glaubet nur, daß ihr's empfangen werdet, so wird's euch werden.

25 Und wenn ihr stehet und betet, so vergebet, wo ihr etwas wider jemand habt, auf daß auch euer Vater im Himmel euch vergebe eure Fehler.

26 Wenn ihr aber nicht vergeben werdet, so wird euch euer Vater, der im Himmel ist, eure Fehler nicht vergeben.
