12 The next day as they
were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had
any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not
the season for figs. 14 Then he said to
the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard
him say it. Mark 11:12-14
19 When evening came, they went out
of the city.
20 In the morning, as they went
along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus,
"Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"
22 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered.
23 "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go,
throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that
what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that
you have received it, and it will be yours. 25
And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive
him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." Mark 11:19-25
