18 Early in the morning as He was on His way to return to the city He was hungry,
19 and seeing a fig-tree on the road-side He went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. »On you,« He said, »no fruit shall ever again grow.« And immediately the fig-tree withered away.
20 When the disciples saw it they exclaimed in astonishment, »How instantaneously the fig-tree has withered away!«
21 »I solemnly tell you,« said Jesus, »that if you have an unwavering faith, you shall not only perform such a miracle as this of the fig-tree, but that even if you say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up and hurled into the sea,' it shall be done;
22 and everything, whatever it be, that you ask for in your prayers, if you have faith, you shall obtain.«
