The
Gospel According to Mark
Chapter
11:24
“Word for word, that you receive it speaking in the time that now is, to show the certainty of the thing and the performance indeed.” - GNV Translation commentary – Ed 1599
Editor's thought on the above commentary: Mark down the date and time of your prayer request.
“The petitions that are desired, and the things asked in them: that is, be as much assured of having them, as if you had already received them, and you shall have them; for the sense can never be, that they should believe they received them before they had them; this would be a contradiction in terms; and Beza's ancient copy, and one of Stephens's copies read it, "believe that ye shall receive", and so the Vulgate Latin version; with which agree the Arabic and Ethiopic versions, which render it, "believe that ye shall enjoy", or "obtain"; and the Syriac version, "believe that ye are about to receive"; and great faith it is so to believe; and this is the prayer of faith,(See 1 John 5:14-15). - John Gill - Theologian
