Matthew 21:10-20

10 When He thus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was thrown into commotion, every one inquiring, "Who is this?"

11 "This is Jesus, the Prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee," replied the crowds.

12 Entering the Temple, Jesus drove out all who were buying and selling there, and overturned the money-changers' tables and the seats of the pigeon-dealers.

13 "It is written," He said, "`My House shall be called the House of Prayer', but you are making it a robbers' cave."

14 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the Temple, and He cured them.

15 But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.

16 "Do you hear," they asked Him, "what these children are saying?" "Yes," He replied; "have you never read, `Out of the mouths of infants and of babes at the breast Thou hast brought forth the praise which is due'?"

17 So He left them and went out of the city to Bethany and passed the night there.

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!"
