The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:20-26

The witthered tree. I. DESTRUCTION MAY SERVE THE PURPOSES OF LIFE . Here the fig tree is destroyed for the sake of a lesson to the spirit. Much lower life is destroyed from day to day that the higher may be preserved. II. THE INCIDENT ILLUSTRATES THE RESERVE OF CHRIST 'S MIRACULOUS POWER . He could destroy; that was evident.

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 11:25

And wheresoever ye stand praying ( στήκητε προσευχόμενοι ) . The ordinary attitude of Eastern nations in prayer is here indicated, namely, "standing," with the head, doubtless, bowed in reverence. The promise of this text is that requests offered in prayer by a faithful heart will be granted—granted as God knows best. The connection of these verses with the former is close.

Mark 11:25-26. When ye stand praying Standing was their usual posture when they prayed. Forgive, if ye have aught against any If you expect your prayers should prevail with God, you must take care to offer them in love as well as in faith; and, as you have offended the Majesty of heaven by many provocations, if you expect forgiveness from him, you must forgive your fellow-creatures if you have any matter of complaint against any of them.
