无花果树的教训

20 早上,他们又经过那棵无花果树,看见它连根都枯了。 21 彼得想起昨天发生的事,就对耶稣说:“老师,你看!昨天你咒诅的无花果树已经枯了。”

22 耶稣说:“要对上帝有信心。 23 我实在告诉你们,不论何人,只要有信心,毫不疑惑,就是对这座山说,‘从这里挪开,投进大海里!’也必定为他成就。 24 所以我告诉你们,你们祷告时无论求什么,只要相信已经得到了,就必得到。 25 你们站着祷告的时候,若想起有人得罪了你们,就要饶恕他。这样,你们天上的父也会饶恕你们的过犯。 26 你们如果不饶恕别人,你们天上的父也不会饶恕你们的过犯。[a]

20 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi,(A) look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly[a] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.(B) 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.(C) 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”(D) [26] [b]

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree(A)

20 (B)Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For (C)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. 24 Therefore I say to you, (D)whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Forgiveness and Prayer(E)

25 “And whenever you stand praying, (F)if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 [a]But (G)if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Jesus Shows the Power of Faith(A)

20 The next morning Jesus was walking with his followers. They saw the fig tree that he spoke to the day before. The tree was dry and dead, even the roots. 21 Peter remembered the tree and said to Jesus, “Teacher, look! Yesterday, you told that fig tree to die. Now it is dry and dead!”

22 Jesus answered, “Have faith in God. 23 The truth is, you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, mountain, fall into the sea.’ And if you have no doubts in your mind and believe that what you say will happen, then God will do it for you. 24 So I tell you to ask for what you want in prayer. And if you believe that you have received those things, then they will be yours. 25 When you are praying and you remember that you are angry with another person about something, forgive that person. Forgive them so that your Father in heaven will also forgive your sins.” 26 [a]
