‏ Mark 11:25

Whensoever ye stand ( οταν στηκετε ). Late form of present indicative στηκω, from perfect stem εστηκα. In LXX. Note use of οταν as in 11:19. Jesus does not mean by the use of "stand" here to teach that this is the only proper attitude in prayer.

That your Father also may forgive you ( ινα κα ο πατηρ αφη υμιν ). Evidently God's willingness to forgive is limited by our willingness to forgive others. This is a solemn thought for all who pray. Recall the words of Jesus in Mt 6:12, 14f.
