22 —Tengan fe en Dios —respondió Jesús—.

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 Por la mañana, al pasar junto a la higuera, vieron que se había secado de raíz.

21 Pedro, acordándose, le dijo a Jesús:—¡Rabí, mira, se ha secado la higuera que maldijiste!

22 —Tengan fe en Dios —respondió Jesús—.

23 Les aseguro que si alguno le dice a este monte: “Quítate de ahí y tírate al mar”, creyendo, sin abrigar la menor duda de que lo que dice sucederá, lo obtendrá.

24 Por eso les digo: Crean que ya han recibido todo lo que estén pidiendo en oración, y lo obtendrán.
