マルコによる福音書 11:20 JC

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:1-25

Jesus Enters Into Jerusalem As The Prince of Peace, Purifies the Temple, and Withers A Fig Tree With A Word (11:1-25). This passage in Mark is one whole, woven around the acted out picture of the fig tree. After His entry into Jerusalem Jesus goes and surveys the Temple, looking around and considering it, then He goes and surveys the fig tree and condemns it, after which He returns to the Temple, enters it and clears it of traders. Once that has occurred He and His disciples return to the fig... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:1-33

Jesus Approaches Jerusalem and Enters It As A Proclamation Of Who He Is, Cleanses The Temple, Depicts Its Coming Demise By Means Of The Withering of The Fig Tree, Enters Into Dispute With His Opponents, And Reveals Them As Those Who Are Like Faithless Tenants Of A Vineyard Rejecting Even The Son (10:46-12:12). Along with the festal crowds proceeding to the Passover in Jerusalem along the Jericho Road Jesus now passes through Jericho on the way to Jerusalem, which He intends to enter as the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:11-25

The Temple and the Fig Tree (11:11-25) Having made clear to those with eyes to see both Whom He was and the spirit in which He had come, meek and lowly and in peace as far as politics was concerned, Jesus moved on to the Temple, and there we are significantly told that ‘He looked around’. Remembering what He had previously done as a young firebrand (John 2:14-17) this gains in significance. But that is not specifically what Mark has in mind. He has more in mind an examination that looks around... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:15-20

Jesus Enters the Barren Temple and Purges It (11:15-20). Having declared His sentence on a barren fig tree, Jesus now turns His attention to something even more barren, Jerusalem and The Temple. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:19-25

The Lessons Of The Fig Tree Which Has Withered (11:19-25). When Peter calls Jesus’ attention to the fact that the fig tree has withered, Jesus uses the fact to draw a number of lessons. Firstly that anything is possible to the one who has faith, secondly that even the mountain that they could see before them (symbolic of the withered Temple) could be cast into the sea (symbolic of judgment) by faith, and thirdly of the necessity for forgiving and being forgiven if they too were to avoid... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:20

‘And as they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree, withered away from its roots.’ ‘They passed by.’ Possibly, but not necessarily, the day after the cleansing of the Temple. The point is that they saw it when they were re-entering the city whose end it portrayed, which was probably the next morning. ‘They saw the fig tree withered away from its roots.’ It is emphasised that its roots were dead, just as the supposed source of religious sustenance for the Jews was dead. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:20-25

Mark 11:20-Lamentations : . The Power of Faith.— On the third day of the week, Peter draws attention to the withered fig-tree, and Jesus uses it to illustrate the great power of faith. The teaching does not seem to spring very directly out of the incident. The reference to removing mountains is rightly interpreted metaphorically. In effect, the mountains are the obstacles which prevent the easy access of man to the holy city of God. To faith these obstacles must yield (see Swete). Mk. himself... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 11:20-23

See the notes on "Matthew 21:21". It is I confess the opinion of many excellent interpreters, whom I reverence, that the main end of our Saviour’s cursing and blasting this fig tree, was to let his disciples see in a type what would be the consequent of a spiritual barrenness. That spiritual barrenness is exceedingly dangerous is out of question; our Saviour teacheth us it plainly by another parable of the fig tree, Luke 13:6-9, and the apostle teacheth us it, Hebrews 6:7,Hebrews 6:8. But I see... read more
