John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Mark 11:21
And Peter, calling to remembrance
Not so much the tree, and its spreading leaves, and the greatness
of it, and the flourishing condition it was in, the other day, as
the imprecation of Christ upon it:
saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou
cursedst is
withered away;
which he observed, as matter of astonishment, and as an instance
of Christ's surprising power and authority; (See Gill on
Matthew
21:20).
