20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” 21 And Jesus answered them, ^v“Truly, I say to you, ^wif you have faith and ^xdo not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ^y‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And ^zwhatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, ^aaif you have faith.”
