Mark 11:21 Meaning and Commentary

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).

Mark 11:21 In-Context

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!"
22 Jesus was matter-of-fact: "Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it,
23 and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake' - no shuffling or shilly-shallying - and it's as good as done.
