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 A la mañana siguiente, al pasar junto a la higuera que él había maldecido, los discípulos notaron que se había marchitado desde la raíz.

21 Pedro recordó lo que Jesús había dicho al árbol el día anterior y exclamó:
—¡Mira, Rabí!
¡La higuera que maldijiste se marchitó y murió!

22 Entonces Jesús dijo a los discípulos:

23 Les digo la verdad, ustedes pueden decir a esta montaña: “Levántate y échate al mar”, y sucederá; pero deben creer de verdad que ocurrirá y no tener ninguna duda en el corazón.

24 Les digo, ustedes pueden orar por cualquier cosa y si creen que la han recibido, será suya.
