Matthew 21:12–19

¹²And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves. ¹³And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers. ¹⁴And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. ¹⁵And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant, ¹⁶and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? ¹⁷And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.

¹⁸But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered. ¹⁹And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up.
