Matthew
Chapters 21:16-22
New International Version Anglicized
16‘Do you hear what these children are saying?’ they asked him.‘Yes,’ replied Jesus, ‘have you never read,‘ “From the lips of children and infantsyou, Lord, have called forth your praise”?’
17And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where he spent the night.
18Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry.
19Seeing a fig-tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, ‘May you never bear fruit again!’ Immediately the tree withered.
20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. ‘How did the fig-tree wither so quickly?’ they asked.
21Jesus replied, ‘Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig-tree, but also you can say to this mountain, “Go, throw yourself into the sea,” and it will be done.
22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.’
