Mark 11:13-23

MNT(i) 13 and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs). 14 So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it. 15 Presently they reached Jerusalem, and, after entering the Temple courts, Jesus began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, and to upset the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves, 16 and he would not allow any one to carry a vessel through the Temple courts, Then he began to teach. 17 "Is it not written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have made it a den of robbers." 18 The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching. 19 Now every evening he used to go outside the city; 20 and as they (he and his disciples) were passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree already withered from the root. 21 Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up." 22 "Take hold on God's faithfulness," said Jesus to them in reply. 23 "In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Up and hurl yourself into the sea!' and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.
