11Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem.When he had looked around at everything,it being now evening,he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12The next day,when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.13Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves,he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it.When he came to it,he found nothing but leaves,for it was not the season for figs.14Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!”and his disciples heard it.
15They came to Jerusalem,and Jesus entered into the templeand began to throw out thosewho sold and those who bought in the temple,and overthrew the money changers’ tablesand the seats of those who sold the doves.16He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.17He taught, saying to them,“Isn’t it written,‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’?But you have made it a den of robbers!”
18The chief priests and the scribes heard it,and sought how they might destroy him.For they feared him,because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
19When evening came, he went out of the city.20As they passed by in the morning,they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.21Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look!The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
22Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.23For most certainly I tell you,whoever may tell this mountain,‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’and doesn’t doubt in his heart,but believes that what he says is happening,he shall have whatever he says.24Therefore I tell you,all things whatever you pray and ask for,believe that you have received them,and you shall have them.25Whenever you stand praying,forgive, if you have anything against anyone;so that your Father,who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
