The Barren Fig Tree Is Withered

20 Early(A) in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. 21 Then Peter(B) remembered and said to him, “Rabbi,(C) look! The fig tree that you cursed(D) has withered.”

22 Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God.(E) 23 Truly I tell you,(F) if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt(G) in his heart, but believes(H) that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.(I) 24 Therefore I tell you, everything you pray(J) and ask for(K)believe that you have received[a](L) it and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand(M) praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive(N) him, so that your Father(O) in heaven(P) will also forgive(Q) you your wrongdoing.”[b]
