Matthew 21:10-22

10When He entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

11And the crowds kept saying, “This is the prophet Yeshua, from Natzeret in the Galilee.”

12Then Yeshua entered the Temple and drove out all those selling and buying in the Temple. He overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those selling doves.

13And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of thieves’!”

14The blind and lame came to Him in the Temple, and He healed them.

15But when the ruling kohanim and Torah scholars saw the wonders He performed, and the children crying out in the Temple and saying, “Hoshia-na to Ben-David,” they became indignant.

16And they said to Him, “Do You hear what these children are saying?” “Yes,” Yeshua said to them. “Haven’t you ever read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing toddlers You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”

17Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and He spent the night there.

18Now early in the morning, as He was returning to the city, He became hungry.

19Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came up to it and found nothing on it except leaves only. And He said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree shriveled up at once.

20When the disciples saw it they were astonished. “How did the fig tree shrivel on the spot?” they asked.

21Yeshua answered them, “Amen, I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

22And whatever you ask in prayer, trusting, you shall receive.”
