Matthew 21:18-22

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

18 ^aIn the morning, as he was returning to the city, ^bhe became hungry. 19 ^cAnd seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.

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