Mark 11:12-25

12Now the next day, as they went out from Bethany, he was hungry.

13After noticing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it. When he came to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

14He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.

15Then they came to Jerusalem. Jesus entered the temple area and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in the temple courts. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves,

16and he would not permit anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.

17Then he began to teach them and said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have turned it into a den of robbers!”

18The chief priests and the experts in the law heard it and they considered how they could assassinate him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed by his teaching.

19When evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.

20In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.

21Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered.”

22Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God.

23I tell you the truth, if someone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

24For this reason I tell you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

25Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your sins.”
