Mark 11:20-25
English Standard Version
The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree
20 (A)As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, (B)“Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22 And Jesus answered them, “Have (C)faith in God. 23 (D)Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, (E)‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not (F)doubt in his heart, but (G)believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, (H)whatever you ask in prayer, (I)believe that you (J)have received[a] it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever (K)you stand praying, (L)forgive, (M)if you have anything against anyone, so that (N)your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”[b]

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]
