Mark:11:12-26

*
Now the next day ,
when they had come out from Bethany ,
He was hungry .
*
And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves ,
He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it .
When He came to it ,
He found nothing but leaves ,
for it was not the season for figs .
*
In response Jesus said to it , "
Let no one eat fruit from you ever again ."
And His disciples heard it .
*
So they came to Jerusalem .
Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple ,
and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves .
*
And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple .
*
Then He taught ,
saying to them , "
Is it not written , "
My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations '?
But you have made it a "
den of thieves ."'
*
And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him ;
for they feared Him ,
because all the people were astonished at His teaching .
*
When evening had come ,
He went out of the city .
*
Now in the morning ,
as they passed by ,
they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots .
*
And Peter ,
remembering ,
said to Him , "
Rabbi ,
look !
The fig tree which You cursed has withered away ."
*
So Jesus answered and said to them , "
Have faith in God .
*
For assuredly ,
I say to you ,
whoever says to this mountain , "
Be removed and be cast into the sea ,'
and does not doubt in his heart ,
but believes that those things he says will be done ,
he will have whatever he says .
*
Therefore I say to you ,
whatever things you ask when you pray ,
believe that you receive them ,
and you will have them .
* "
And whenever you stand praying ,
if you have anything against anyone ,
forgive him ,
that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses .
*
But if you do not forgive ,
neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses ."
