Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 11:24-26

See Poole on "Matthew 21:22". See Poole on "Matthew 6:14-15". See Poole on "Matthew 7:7", in which texts we before met with what we have in these verses, teaching us the necessity of faith and charity to those who would so pray as to find acceptance with God. This also lets us know the necessity of people’s full satisfaction, that what things they ask of God in prayer are according to the will of God, without which it is not possible they should pray with a full persuasion that they shall... read more

DISCOURSE: 1445THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH IN PRAYERMark 11:24. I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.THERE is no grace more highly commended in the Scriptures, than faith: for though in some respects love may be considered as the greater, inasmuch as it more assimilates us to the Deity, and is of infinitely longer duration [Note: 1 Corinthians 13:13.]; yet faith is the parent of love, and the root of every other grace.... read more

Chapter 11And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, [they were] at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt [that is] tied, whereon never man [has] sat: loose him, and bring him. And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye [just tell them] that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway [immediately] he will send him... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 11:1-33

Mark 11:1 . When they came nigh to Jerusalem. This chapter, with the exception of a few words, is the same as Matthew 21:0. Mark 11:9 . They that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna, a word of praise derived from Hoskiah, save now, Lord, we beseech thee. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Blessed be the kingdom of our father David. St. Luke adds, Luke 19:37, “When they were come to the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the... read more

Mark 11:24What things soever ye desire when ye pray.Combined action of prayer and faithThe apostles, when the Lord was taken away from them, would have to commend His doctrine to the world by miracles. To this end it was needful that their faith in God, as the Bestower of all power to do such things, should be raised. For the real doer of every miracle or sign was God, and God only. When the apostles healed suddenly any sick person, or cast out any evil spirit, it was by the combined exercise... read more

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them , and ye shall have them . Ver. 24. What things soever ye desire, &c. ] To an effectual prayer two things are here required: 1. An earnest desire after the thing prayed for; "the desire of the righteous shall be satisfied," Proverbs 10:24 ; but a cold suitor begs a denial. 2. A confident expectation of a gracious answer. He that prayeth and doubteth shutteth heaven’s gates against his... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 11:24

24. Therefore In view of this readiness of God to make your faith true the instant that it exists. I say I declare this high privilege of the faithful soul. Unto you Who have attained full communion with God. Believe that ye receive them Trust that God is already granting while ye pray. And ye shall have them The gift shall commence as soon as the faith is complete. While ye trust that it is being granted, it is being granted. The prayer and the answer are coexistent, as... read more
