Mark 11:12-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹² And the next day, on the way back from Bethany, He became hungry.

¹³ And seeing a fig tree at a distance which had leaves, He went to see if He might find anything on it. But when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves. For the time of figs was not yet.

¹⁴ Then Jesus answered, and said to it, “Never shall anyone eat fruit from you again while the world stands.” And His disciples heard it.

¹⁵ And they came to Jerusalem. And Jesus went into the Temple and began to cast out those who sold and bought in the Temple and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those who sold doves;

¹⁶ nor would He allow anyone to carry merchandise through the Temple.

¹⁷ 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!”

¹⁸ And the Scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how to destroy Him. For they feared Him, because the whole multitude was astonished at His doctrine.

¹⁹ But when evening came, Jesus went out of the city.

²⁰ And in the morning, as they journeyed together, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
