Matthew 21:18-22

18In the morning, as Jesus returned to the city, he became hungry.

19When he saw a fig tree by the road, he went up to the tree and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to the tree, “May fruit never grow on you again!” At once the fig tree dried up.

20The disciples were surprised to see this. They asked, “How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?”

21Jesus answered them, “I can guarantee this truth: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will be able to do what I did to the fig tree. You could also say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.

22Have faith that you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
