The Withered Fig Tree

20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered down to the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”

22 Jesus replied, “Have faith in God. 23 Amen I tell you: Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, everything that you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. 26 But if you do not forgive, your Father in heaven will not forgive your sins.”[a]

The Barren Fig Tree Withered

20 And as they[a] passed by early in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 And Peter remembered and[b] said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!” 22 And Jesus answered and[c] said to them, “Have faith in God! 23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea!’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 For this reason I say to you, whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received it,[d] and it will be done for you. 25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him,[e] so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your sins.”[f]
