The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree

20 *For ver. 20-24, see Matt. 21:19-22As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, *See John 1:38"Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered." 22 And Jesus answered them, "Have *Eph. 3:12;Phil. 3:9faith in God.23 *Matt. 17:20Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, *[Ps. 46:2;1 Cor. 13:2;Rev. 8:8] ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not *Rom. 4:20;14:23;James 1:6doubt in his heart, but *[ch. 16:17;John 14:12]believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.24 Therefore I tell you, *See Matt. 7:7whatever you ask in prayer, *[See ver. 23above] believe that you *[Isa. 65:24;Matt. 6:8]have received*11:24 Some manuscripts are receivingit, and it will be yours.25 And whenever *Matt. 6:5;Luke 18:11you stand praying, *See Matt. 6:14forgive, *Col. 3:13;[Matt. 5:23;6:15] if you have anything against anyone, so that *Matt. 7:11your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."*11:25 Some manuscripts add verse 26: But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses
