And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.

And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

And when they were going by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dead from the roots.

As they passed by early in the morning, they noticed that the fig-tree was withered up from the roots.

(4) And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
(4) The power of faith is exceedingly great, and charity is always joined with it.

And in the morning, as they passed by,.... The fig tree; when they returned the next morning from Bethany, or the Mount of Olives, or the place, wherever it was, they had been that night:
they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots; they did not see it immediately wither as it did, nor could they see it, as they went from Jerusalem to this place, because it was then in the evening; but in the morning, as they came along, they observed it; not only that the tender branches and boughs of it, but the trunk and body of the tree, and even the roots of it, were all dried up; so that it was entirely dead, and there was no room ever to expect it would revive, and bear any more fruit.

And in the morning--of Tuesday, the third day of the week: He had slept, as during all this week, at Bethany.
as they passed by--going into Jerusalem again.
they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots--no partial blight, leaving life in the root; but it was now dead, root and branch. In Matthew 21:19 it is said it withered away as soon as it was cursed. But the full blight had not appeared probably at once; and in the dusk perhaps, as they returned to Bethany, they had not observed it. The precision with which Mark distinguishes the days is not observed by Matthew, intent only on holding up the truths which the incident was designed to teach. In Matthew the whole is represented as taking place at once, just as the two stages of Jairus' daughter--dying and dead--are represented by him as one. The only difference is between a mere summary and a more detailed narrative, each of which only confirms the other.

They saw the fig tree dried up. See notes on Matthew 21:19-22. Mark adds the fact, not stated by Matthew, that this language was spoken the day after the tree was cursed.
Believe that ye receive them. That they are yours from the time you ask for them.

Matthew 21:20.
