Matthew 21:12–19

¹²And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves, ¹³and he saith to them, ‘It hath been written, My house a house of prayer shall be called, but ye did make it a den of robbers.’ ¹⁴And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them, ¹⁵and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David,’ were much displeased; ¹⁶and they said to him, ‘Hearest thou what these say?’ And Jesus saith to them, ‘Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?’ ¹⁷And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there.

¹⁸And in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered, ¹⁹and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, ‘No more from thee may fruit be—to the age;’ and forthwith the fig-tree withered.
