¹¹And he went into Jerusalem to the temple, and after^* looking around at everything, because^* the hour was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

A Barren Fig Tree Cursed

¹²And on the next day as^* they were departing from Bethany, he was hungry. ¹³And when he^* saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if perhaps he would find anything on it. And when he^* came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs. ¹⁴And he responded and^* said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you any more forever!”^d And his disciples heard it.^*

The Cleansing of the Temple

¹⁵And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple courts^* and^* began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple courts,^* and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves. ¹⁶And he did not permit anyone to carry objects^e through the temple courts.^* ¹⁷And he began to teach^f and was saying to them, “Is it not written,

‘My house will be called a house of prayer

for all the nations,’^g

but you have made it a cave of robbers!”
