Matthew 21:10-22
New King James Version
10 (A)And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
11 So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, (B)the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Jesus Cleanses the Temple(C)
12 (D)Then Jesus went into the temple [a]of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the (E)money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, (F)‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a (G)‘den of thieves.’ ”
14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the (H)Son of David!” they were [b]indignant 16 and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?”
And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read,
(I)‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have perfected praise’?”
17 Then He left them and (J)went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there.
The Fig Tree Withered(K)
18 (L)Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 (M)And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree(N)
20 (O)And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”
21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, (P)if you have faith and (Q)do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, (R)but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. 22 And (S)whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

Matthew 21:10-22
New International Version
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet(A) from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus at the Temple(B)
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying(C) and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers(D) and the benches of those selling doves.(E) 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[a](F) but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’[b]”(G)
14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.(H) 15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,”(I) they were indignant.(J)
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,(L) where he spent the night.
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree(M)
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.(N)
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt,(O) not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for(P) in prayer.”
