Matthew 21:12-22

12ThenG2532 JesusG2424 enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 templeG2411 courts1 andG2532 drove outG1544 allG3956 who wereG3588 buyingG59 andG2532 sellingG4453 there. He overturnedG2690 theG3588 tablesG5132 of theG3588 money changersG2855 andG2532 theG3588 seatsG2515 of thoseG3588 sellingG4453 dovesG4058. 13AndG2532 He declaredG3004 to themG846, “It is writtenG1125: ‘MyG1473 houseG3624 will be calledG2564 a houseG3624 of prayerG4335.’2 ButG1161 youG4771 are makingG4160 itG846 ‘a denG4693 of robbersG3027.’3”

The blindG5185 andG2532 the lameG5560 cameG4334 to HimG846 atG1722 theG3588 templeG2411, andG2532 He healedG2323 themG846. 15ButG1161 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 scribesG1122 were indignantG23 when they sawG3708 theG3588 wondersG2297 He performedG4160 andG2532 theG3588 childrenG3816 shoutingG2532G3004G3588G2896 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, “HosannaG5614 to theG3588 SonG5207 of DavidG1138!”

16“Do You hearG191 whatG5101 theseG3778 children are sayingG3004?” they askedG2036.

“YesG3483,” JesusG2424 answeredG3004. “Have you never readG3763G314:

17ThenG2532 He leftG2641 themG846 and wentG1831 out ofG1854 theG3588 cityG4172 toG1519 BethanyG963, where He spent the nightG835G1563.

In the morningG4404, as Jesus was returningG1877 toG1519 theG3588 cityG4172, He was hungryG3983. 19SeeingG3708 aG1520 fig treeG4808 byG1909 theG3588 roadG3598, He went upG2064 toG1909 itG846 butG2532 foundG2147 nothingG3762 onG1722 itG846 exceptG1487G3361G3440 leavesG5444. “May you never bearG3756G1096G1519G3588G165G1537G4771 fruitG2590 againG3371!” He saidG3004. AndG2532 immediatelyG3916 theG3588 treeG4808 witheredG3583.

20WhenG2532 theG3588 disciplesG3101 sawG3708 this, they marveledG2296 and askedG3004, “How didG4459 theG3588 fig treeG4808 witherG3583 so quicklyG3916?”

21“TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771,” JesusG2424 repliedG611G2036G846, “ifG1437 you haveG2192 faithG4102 andG2532 do notG3361 doubtG1252, notG3756 onlyG3440 will you doG4160 what was doneG3588 to theG3588 fig treeG4808, butG235 even ifG2579 you sayG2036 to thisG3778 mountainG3735, ‘Be lifted upG142 andG2532 thrownG906 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281,’ it will happenG1096. 22If you believeG4100, you will receiveG2983 whateverG3956G3745G302 you ask forG154 inG1722 prayerG4335.”
