Mark 11:12–25

^12aOn the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry.

¹³Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

¹⁴He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples were listening.

Jesus Drives Money Changers from the Temple

^15aThen they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling ¹doves;

¹⁶and He would not permit anyone to carry ¹merchandise through the temple.

¹⁷And He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘^aMy house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? ^bBut you have made it a robbers’ ¹den.”

¹⁸The chief priests and the scribes heard this, and ^abegan seeking how to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, for ^bthe whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.

^19aWhen evening came, ¹they would go out of the city.

^20aAs they were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up.

²¹Being reminded, Peter said to Him, “^aRabbi, look, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.”

²²And Jesus answered saying to them, “^aHave faith in God.

²³“^aTruly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.

²⁴“Therefore I say to you, ^aall things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.

²⁵“Whenever you ^astand praying, ^bforgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.
