Mark 11:20-26

The Barren Fig Tree Is Withered

20 Early in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up.

21 Then Peter remembered and said to Him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that You cursed is withered."

22 Jesus replied to them, "Have faith in God.

23 I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

24 Therefore, I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for-believe that you have received ^[a] them, and you will have them.

25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing. ^[b] [

26 But if you don't forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."] ^[c]
