Mark 11:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Mark 11:25

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.

26 But ^aif you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Jesus’ Authority Questioned

27 Then they came again to Jerusalem. ^aAnd as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him.

28 And they said to Him, “By what ^aauthority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?”
