When they left Bethany, Jesus became hungry; and seeing from afar a fig tree covered with leaves, he went to see if he could find anything on it. But when he came to her, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not yet time to gather figs. And Jesus said to her:

“From now on, let no one eat fruit from you forever!”

And His disciples heard it.

In the morning, passing by, they saw that the fig tree had dried up to the roots. And remembering, Peter said to Him:

- Rabbi! Look, the fig tree that You cursed has dried up.

Jesus answered and said to them:

“Have faith in God, for truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, “Be taken up and cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, whatever he says will be done for him. Therefore I tell you: whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and it will be done for you. And when you stand in prayer, forgive if you have anything against anyone, so that your Heavenly Father may forgive you your sins. If you do not forgive, then your Heavenly Father will not forgive you your sins.
