Mark 11:19 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:19

And when even was come, he went out of the city.

19 At evening, Jesus and his disciples left the city.

20 In the morning, walking along the road, they saw the fig tree, shriveled to a dry stick.

21 Peter, remembering what had happened the previous day, said to him, "Rabbi, look - the fig tree you cursed is shriveled up!"
