Context — The Withering of the Fig Treegenerated
Mark 11:20 describes a moment when the disciples noticed the fig tree that Jesus had cursed, now completely withered. This event follows Jesus' earlier actions and teachings, emphasizing the consequences of unfruitfulness. It serves as a vivid illustration of faith and the power of Jesus' words, as He had previously pronounced judgment on the tree for not bearing fruit, which is a common theme in His teachings about spiritual fruitfulness.

The Key Word — ξηραίνω, xērainōgenerated
The perfect passive participle ξηραίνω indicates that the fig tree has been completely dried up, emphasizing a state resulting from an action. This construction shows that the tree did not merely begin to wither; it is fully withered, highlighting the power of Jesus' curse.
The passive voice suggests that the action was done to the fig tree, and it conveys a sense of finality regarding the tree's condition. The use of this form in the context of Jesus' authority underscores the significance of His words and their immediate effects.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In comparing translations, the Berean Standard Bible uses the term withered, which aligns with the meaning of ἐξηραμμένην. Other translations like the KJV and ASV opt for dried up, indicating the same outcome but with slightly different wording.
The translations agree on the core meaning of the fig tree's condition, though they differ in their choice of terms. The BSB, ASV, and WEB all use withered, while the KJV and YLT choose dried up.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around one main action: εἶδον, they saw. This verb governs the observation made by the disciples, with several phrases providing context, including an adverbial clause indicating the time of day and a prepositional phrase describing what they saw.
The finite verb εἶδον is the focal point, with the subject being the disciples and the object being the fig tree. The adverbial phrase πρωῒ specifies when the action took place, while the participial phrase ἐξηραμμένην describes the state of the fig tree.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
συκῆ appears in the Septuagint, translating the Hebrew word for fig tree, תְּאֵנָה. This connection shows the continuity of symbolism associated with the fig tree from the Old Testament to the New.
ξηραίνω is also present in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew for drying up, indicating a common theme of judgment and barrenness.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Early church commentators reflect on the significance of the withered fig tree, discussing its implications for faith and divine authority.
The wonder of the disciples was the consequence of imperfect faith, for this was no great thing for God to do; since then they did not clearly know His power, their ignorance made them break out into wonder;Early Church Fathers on Mark 11 →
The meaning is not that it dried up at the time, when they saw it, but immediately after the word of the Lord; for they saw it, not beginning to dry up, but completely dried up;Early Church Fathers on Mark 11 →
And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. Not only the branches or the trunks of the barren fig tree, but even the root itself, drying up, showed the sentence of divine reprobation upon it.Early Church Fathers on Mark 11 →

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

In the sense of "against" which survives only in dialectal English (compare Wright, Dialect Dict., I, 470, for examples) is the King James Version rendering of the dative emauto of 1Co 4:4 (the American Standard Revised Version renders this "against"). In classical Greek the same idiom sunoida with dative = "be conscious" or "be cognizant of" a thing.

The Greek word πρωΐ (transliterated as *proi*) is an adverb meaning 'early' or 'in the morning.' It is derived from the root πρό and is commonly used in the New Testament to denote actions occurring at dawn or early in the day, appearing in various contexts such as Matthew and Mark. The lexicons consistently define it in this way, without notable disagreement.

The Greek word οἶδα (i.e., *oida*) is derived from the root of εἶδον (i.e., *eidon*), meaning 'to see' or 'to perceive.' It primarily conveys the idea of knowing or having knowledge, often used in contexts where one has seen or understood something. The New Testament employs it in various constructions, indicating knowledge of things, people, or concepts.

Egyptian saws, so far as has yet been discovered, are single-handed. As is the case in modern Oriental saws, the teeth usually incline toward the handle, instead of away from it like ours. They have, in most cases, bronze blades, apparently attached to the handles by leathern thongs. No evidence exists of the use of the saw applied to stone in Egypt, but we read of sawn stones used in the temple. (1 Kings 7:9) The saws "under" or "in" which David is said to have placed his captives were of iron. The expression in (2 Samuel 12:31) does not necessarily imply torture, but the word "cut" in (1 Chronicles 20:3) can hardly be understood otherwise.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

ξηραίνω (xērainō) means to dry up or wither, often used for plants, crops, and even parts of the body. It can describe the process of desiccation or the state of being dry. The New Testament uses it in contexts such as withered plants (e.g., Mt 21:19) and the drying up of fluids (e.g., Mk 5:29). There is some variation in how lexicons describe its implications, particularly regarding the nuances of ripening and wasting away.

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.
