SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:25
Y cuando estuviereis orando, perdonad, si tenis algo contra alguno, para que vuestro Padre que est en los cielos os perdone tambin a vosotros vuestras ofensas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 11:25
Verse 25. When ye stand praying] This expression may mean no more than, When ye are disposed, or have a mind, to pray, i.e. whenever ye perform that duty. And it is thus used and explained in the Koran, Surat. v. ver. 7. See on Matt. xxi. 20-22. But the Pharisees loved to pray standing, that they might be seen of men.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And when ye stand praying , etc..] Are about to engage in that work, or are engaged in it, performing it in such a posture; for standing was an usual posture in praying; (see Gill on Matthew 6:5); forgive, if ye have ought against any, that your Father also in heaven may forgive you your trespasses . The sense is, that if, while a man is praying, it comes into his mind that such an one has committed a trespass against him, has done him an injury, of which he has just reason to complain; but instead of complaining of it before God, and calling upon him to avenge his cause, he should immediately in his heart, and from his heart, forgive him, even though he is not present to acknowledge his sin, and ask his pardon; and such an one may expect forgiveness of God, and a manifestation of it to his soul; which is one the things he is constantly praying for, as his daily case makes it necessary: not that it is to be understood as though his for, giving the person that has offended him, is the cause, or condition, of his receiving remission of sin at the hand of God; for then it would not be through the blood of Christ, and according to the riches of his grace; but this points at a temper and disposition of mind well pleasing to God, and describes persons who may expect this favour from him; (see Gill on Matthew 6:14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-26 - The disciples could not think why that fig-tree should so soon withe away; but all wither who reject Christ; it represented the state of the Jewish church. We should rest in no religion that does not make u fruitful in good works. Christ taught them from hence to pray in faith It may be applied to that mighty faith with which all true Christian are endued, and which does wonders in spiritual things. It justifie us, and so removes mountains of guilt, never to rise up in judgmen against us. It purifies the heart, and so removes mountains of corruption, and makes them plain before the grace of God. One grea errand to the throne of grace is to pray for the pardon of our sins and care about this ought to be our daily concern.

25. Trespasses. See on Matt. vi. 14
Robertson's NT Word Studies
11:25 {Whensoever ye stand} (hotan stekete). Late form of present indicative stekw, from perfect stem hesteka. In LXX. Note use of hotan 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} (hina kai ho pater afei humin). 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.
