Mark 11:20 Cross References - AUV

²⁰ The next morning, [as they returned to the city], they passed by the fig tree and saw that it had withered, clear down to its roots.

⁶ But when the sun came up these tender sprouts were scorched and, since they had such tiny roots, they [quickly] withered away.

¹³ But He answered and said, “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.

¹⁹ Upon seeing a fig tree along side of the road, He approached it [i.e., expecting to find fruit on it], but found nothing but leaves. He said to the tree, “There will not be fruit on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered up. ²⁰ When His disciples saw this, they marvelled, saying, “How could the fig tree wither up so suddenly?” ²¹ Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith, without doubting, you will not only [be able to] do what was done to this fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the ocean,’ it will happen. ²² And everything you ask for in prayer you will receive, if you have [enough] faith.”

¹² These people are like rotten spots [contaminating the food] at your love feasts, while they gorge themselves without fear [i.e., unashamed of their selfish indulgence].

They are like clouds that blow over without producing rain; [they are like] trees in the fall that do not produce any fruit and have been uprooted, [thus] being dead twice [i.e., fruitless and rootless].
