17. He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.

18. Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.

19. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it,"Let there be no fruit from you forever!"Immediately the fig tree withered away.

20. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"

21. Jesus answered them,"Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don't doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.

22. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

12. The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

13. Seeing 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.

14. Jesus told it,"May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it.

15. They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

16. He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

17. He taught, saying to them,"Isn't it written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?'Isaiah 56:7But you have made it a den of robbers!"Jeremiah 7:11

18. The 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.

19. When evening came, he went out of the city.

20. As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

21. Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."

22. Jesus answered them,"Have faith in God.

23. For 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.

24. Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
