16. The men said to Jesus, “Don't you hear what those children are saying?”“Yes, I do!” Jesus answered. “Don't you know that the Scriptures say, ‘Children and infants will sing praises’?”
17. Then Jesus left the city and went out to the village of Bethany, where he spent the night.
18. When Jesus got up the next morning, he was hungry. He started out for the city,
19. and along the way he saw a fig tree. But when he came to it, he found only leaves and no figs. So he told the tree, “You will never again grow any fruit!” At once the fig tree dried up.
20. The disciples were shocked when they saw how quickly the tree had dried up.
