Mark 11:12-26

Williams(i) 12 Next day, while they were walking over from Bethany, He felt hungry. 13 Now in the distance He saw a fig tree covered with leaves, and He went up to it to see if He might find some figs on it, but when He got to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs. 14 So He spoke to it and said, "Never again may anyone eat a fig from you!" And His disciples were listening to it. 15 Then they reached Jerusalem, and He went into the temple and began to drive out of it those who were buying and selling things in it. Then He upset the money-changers' tables and the dove-dealers' counters, 16 and would not let anybody carry a vessel through the temple. 17 And He continued teaching them and saying, "Does not the Scripture say, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a cave for robbers." 18 Then the high priests and the scribes heard of this, and they kept looking for some way to destroy Him, for they were afraid of Him, for everybody was swept off his feet at what He said. 19 So when evening came, He and His disciples used to go out of the city. 20 In the morning as they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered, clear down to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered about it, and said to Him, "Look, Teacher! The fig tree which you cursed has withered!" 22 Then Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God! 23 I solemnly say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt at all in his heart, but has faith that what he says will take place, shall have it. 24 So then I tell you, whenever you pray and ask for anything, have faith that it has been granted you, and you will get it. 25 And whenever you stand and pray, if you have anything against anybody, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven too may forgive you your shortcomings." 26 Omitted Text.
