The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:18-22

The omnipotence of faith. The miracles of Jesus were generally miracles of mercy. There are a few exceptions. Conspicuous amongst these is the withering of the fig tree with a word. When the disciples marvelled Jesus expounded to them his astonishing doctrine of the power of faith. We learn— I. THAT BELIEVING IS ESSENTIAL TO PREVAILING PRAYER . 1 . There can be no prayer without faith in a personal God. 2 . There can be no prayer without faith in a Person... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 21:21

Jesus answered. To the apostles' question the Lord makes reply, drawing a lesson, not such as we should have expected, but one of quite a different nature, yet one which was naturally deduced from the transaction which had excited such astonishment. They marvelled at this incident; let them have and exercise faith. and they should do greater things than this. Christ had already made a similar answer after the cure of the demoniac boy ( Matthew 17:20 , where see note). If ye have faith,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 21:12-22

This paragraph contains the account of the barren fig-tree, and of the cleansing of the temple. See also Mark 11:12-19; Luke 19:45-48.Matthew 21:12And Jesus went into the temple of God ... - From Mark 11:11-15, it is probable that this cleansing of the temple did not take place on the day that he entered Jerusalem in triumph, but on the day following.He came and looked round upon all things, Mark says, and went out to Bethany with the twelve. On the day following, returning from Bethany, he saw... read more

Matthew 21:18-22. In the morning, as he returned, he hungered For, being a man, he was subject to all the innocent infirmities of our nature, and he had come out from Bethany early without eating any thing: And when he saw a fig-tree (Gr. συκην μιαν , a single fig-tree) in the way Having a fine spread of leaves upon it, and therefore appearing to be one of the earlier kind; he came to it In expectation of finding figs thereon, for the season of gathering them was not yet come, Mark... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 21:18-22

121. Jesus curses the fig tree (Matthew 21:18-22; Mark 11:12-14,Mark 11:20-26)In the morning, as Jesus and his disciples walked from Bethany back to Jerusalem, they passed a fig tree that Jesus saw as symbolic of the Jewish nation. He went to the fig tree looking for fruit but found none. Similarly he came to the Jewish nation looking for spiritual fruit, but in spite of all its outward signs of religion, spiritually it produced no fruit for God. By causing the fig tree to dry up, Jesus... read more

Verily. See note on Matthew 5:18 . If ye have faith, &c. This is the third occasion that this was repeated. The first was in Matthew 17:20 ; Mark 11:23 ; and the second in Luke 17:6 . The condition is quite hypothetical. See App-118 . doubt. App-122 . Be thou removed, &c. It was a common proverb to say of a great teacher, who removed difficulties, that he was "a rooter up of mountains". See note on Luke 17:6 . read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 21:21

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.This is a repetition of the remarkable promise Christ made the disciples in Matthew 17:20 (which see). Such a promise staggers the imagination; and the very least that it... read more

Matthew 21:18-22. Now in the morning, &c.— I shall postpone the remarks on this miracle to Mark 11:0 as it is there related with some circumstances which require particular notice; observing that our Lord cursed the fig-tree in the morning of the day on which he cast the buyers and sellers out of the temple: and though the tree began that instant to wither, the disciples did not take notice of its withering, because they left the spot just as Jesus was pronouncing the curse; neither did... read more
