The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree
20 In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.(A) 21 Then Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”(B) 22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.[a](C) 23 Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and if you do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you.(D) 24 So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received[b] it, and it will be yours.(E)
25 “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.”[c](F)

New Living Translation
20 The next morning as they passed by the fig tree he had cursed, the disciples noticed it had withered from the roots up. 21 Peter remembered what Jesus had said to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree you cursed has withered and died!”
22 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God. 23 I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. 24 I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours. 25 But when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too.[a]”
