📚 Historical Context
In Mark 11, Jesus had just entered Jerusalem triumphantly and cleansed the temple, demonstrating his authority over religious practices. Earlier, he cursed a fig tree that bore no fruit, which withered overnight as a symbolic lesson about spiritual barrenness in Israel. Jesus then spoke these words to his disciples to highlight the importance of genuine faith in God amid his teachings on prayer and judgment.
