Matthew 21:12-22
121And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the 2money changers and the seats of those who were selling 3doves. 13And He said to them, “It is written, ‘4My house shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a 5robbers’ 6den.”
14And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and 7He healed them. 15But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, “Hosanna to the 8Son of David,” they became indignant 16and said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes; have you never read, ‘9Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise for Yourself’?” 17And He left them and went out of the city to 10Bethany, and spent the night there.
1811Now in the morning, when He was returning to the city, He became hungry. 19Seeing a lone 12fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He said to it, “No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you.” And at once the fig tree withered.
20Seeing this, the disciples were amazed and asked, “How did the fig tree wither all at once?” 21And Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, 13if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen. 22And 14all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
