Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 11:12-26

(12) And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: (13) And seeing a fig tree afar off; having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves: for the time of figs was not yet. (14) And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever; and his disciples heard it. (15) And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:19-26

19-26 The disciples could not think why that fig-tree should so soon wither away; but all wither who reject Christ; it represented the state of the Jewish church. We should rest in no religion that does not make us fruitful in good works. Christ taught them from hence to pray in faith. It may be applied to that mighty faith with which all true Christians are endued, and which does wonders in spiritual things. It justifies us, and so removes mountains of guilt, never to rise up in judgment... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 11:1-99

Mark 11 JESUS NOW DREW near to Jerusalem. His disciples were in His train, not only those who had spent three years in His company but Bartimaeus also, who had spent perhaps three hours. Bethany was the home of some who loved Him, and there He found the colt of an ass, so that He might enter the city as Zechariah had predicted. The Lord had need of that colt, and He knew who the owner was and that His need would meet with a ready response. He was the Servant of the will of God, and He knew... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 11:24-26

v. 24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. v. 25. And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have aught against any, that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. v. 26. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. There are two factors which defeat the ends of prayer. The first is the lack of trust in efficacy of prayer.... read more

Mark 11:12-26.(Parallels: Matthew 21:12-22; Luke 19:45-46.)12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry. 13And seeing a fig-tree afar off,9 having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time10 of figs was14 not yet.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 11:20-33

the Conditions of Prayer Mark 11:20-33 The great lesson taught by this stricken tree justified its doom. It was not yet the time of the fig harvest, but some of last year’s fruit might still be found; and the hope of this was still further aroused by the abundance of young leaves. It was a type of profession without performance. In addition to proclaiming the doom of promise which is not followed by performance, our Lord drew from the miracle the great lesson that faith can absolutely reckon... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 11:1-33

This is the one occasion in the life of Jesus on which He of set purpose, and in such a way as to be understood of the crowds, took the position and accepted the homage of a King. Afterward the disciples wondered as they saw the withered fig tree. (For the miracle see notes on Matthew 21:18-22.) This wonder was caused by Jesus' evident power; they did not question His right. Having in a brief and pregnant sentence revealed the secret of His power in such a case to be faith, He uttered some... read more
