Mark 11:12-25

Mark 11:12-25 CSB

The  next day when they went out from Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig  tree with leaves, he went to find out if there was anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season for figs. He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit   from you again! ”   And his disciples  heard it. They came to Jerusalem,  and he went into the temple  and began to throw out those buying and selling. He overturned the tables of the money changers  and the chairs of those selling doves, and would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple. He was teaching them: “Is it not written,   My house   will be called a house of prayer   for all nations ?   But you have made it a den of thieves ! ”   , The chief priests and the scribes  heard it and started looking for a way to kill him. For they were afraid  of him, because the whole crowd was astonished by his teaching. Whenever evening came, they would go out of the city. Early  in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. Then Peter  remembered and said to him, “Rabbi,  look! The fig tree that you cursed  has withered.” Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God.   Truly I tell you,   if anyone 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.   Therefore I tell you, everything you pray   and ask for   #— #believe that you have received   , it and it will be yours. And whenever you stand   praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive   him, so that your Father   in heaven   will also forgive   you your wrongdoing.”
