14. And He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples were listening.
15. Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the Temple and started to drive out those selling and buying in the Temple. He overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those selling doves,
16. and He wouldn’t let anyone carry goods through the Temple.
17. And He began to teach them, saying, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’”
18. The ruling kohanim and Torah scholars heard this and began looking for a way to destroy Him; for they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19. Whenever evening came, Yeshua and His disciples would leave the city.
20. As they were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree shriveled from the roots.
21. Peter remembered and said to Yeshua, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree You cursed has shriveled up!”
22. And Yeshua answered, saying to them, “Have faith in God!
23. Amen, I tell you, if someone says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but trusts that what he says is happening, so shall it be for him.
24. For this reason I say to you, whatever you pray and ask, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25. Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your transgressions.”
26. [footnote: Some mss. add: But if you don't forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.]
27. Again they come to Jerusalem. While Yeshua was walking in the Temple, the ruling kohanim, Torah scholars, and elders come up to Him.
28. And they start saying to Him, “By what authority are You doing these things? Who gave You this authority to do these things?”
