11Â And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to Bethania with the twelve.
12Â And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry.
13Â And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs.
14Â And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15Â And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the chairs of them that sold doves.
16Â And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through the temple;
17Â And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer to all nations? But you have made it a den of thieves.
18Â Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine.
19Â And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city.
20Â And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21Â And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away.
22Â And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God.
23Â Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe, that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall be done unto him.
24Â Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive; and they shall come unto you.
25Â And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught against any man; that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive you your sins.
26Â But if you will not forgive, neither will your Father that is in heaven, forgive you your sins.
