A Barren Fig Tree Cursed
12 And on the next day [as] they were departing from Bethany, he was hungry.
13
And [when he] saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went [to see] if perhaps he would find anything on it. And [when he] came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
14
And he responded [and] said to it, "Let no one eat fruit from you any more {forever}!" And his disciples heard [it].
The Cleansing of the Temple
15 And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered into the temple [courts] [and] began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple [courts], and overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who were selling doves.
16
And he did not permit anyone to carry objects through the temple [courts].
17
And he began to teach and was saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations,'
but you have made it a cave of robbers!"
18
And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.
19
And when evening came they went out of the city.
