19 When evening had come, He went out of the city.

The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree

20 ^aNow in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

23 For ^aassuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

24 Therefore I say to you, ^awhatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Forgiveness and Prayer

25 “And whenever you stand praying, ^aif you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

Peter calling to remembrance (anamnhsqeiv o Petrov). First aorist participle, being reminded. Only in Mark and due to Peter's story. For his quick memory see also Mark 14:72.

Which thou cursedst (hn kathrasw). First aorist middle indicative second person singular from kataraomai. It almost sounds as if Peter blamed Jesus for what he had done to the fig tree.
