Mark 11:20-26

New International Reader's Version

The Dried-Up Fig Tree

²⁰ In the morning as Jesus and his disciples walked along, they saw the fig tree. It was dried up all the way down to the roots. ²¹ Peter remembered. He said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you put a curse on has dried up!”

²² “Have faith in God,” Jesus said. ²³ “What I’m about to tell you is true. Suppose someone says to this mountain, ‘Go and throw yourself into the sea.’ They must not doubt in their heart. They must believe that what they say will happen. Then it will be done for them. ²⁴ So I tell you, when you pray for something, believe that you have already received it. Then it will be yours. ^25-26 And when you stand praying, forgive anyone you have anything against. Then your Father in heaven will forgive your sins.”
