Marcos 11:24

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

Marcos 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 ) .

Marcos 11:24 In-Context

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.

25 Cuando estén orando, primero perdonen a todo aquel contra quien guarden rencor, para que su Padre que está en el cielo también les perdone a ustedes sus pecados.
