Exegesis
The final verb exērantai {ἐξήρανται | exḗrantai} is perfect passive, expressing a completed process with ongoing result (“has withered” and remains so). In English, the participial structure is preserved in the formal rendering (“having remembered”) to reflect the temporal nuance, while the dynamic version uses a finite verb (“remembered”) for smoother contemporary style. The historical present legei is retained as “says” in the formal translation to mirror the narrative vividness, and rendered “said” in the dynamic version for natural storytelling. The relative clause and perfect aspect are carefully maintained in both, so the link between Jesus’ prior curse and the present, enduring state of the fig tree remains clear.
In context — Mark 11:21
And Peter , having remembered, says to Him , “Rabbi, look, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.”
