Mark 11:19 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:19

18 And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

19 and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.

20 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

21 and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'
