Mark 11:21

21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

Ver. 21. And Peter calling to remembrance ] So the fig tree bare far better fruit now that it was dried, than when it was green and flourishing. Instruunt nos Patres, tum docentes, tum labentes; The saints teach us, as by their instructions, so by their infirmities. (Aug.)
