Matthew 21

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

18 Ref Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.

19 Ref And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.

20 Ref And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?

21 Ref And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.

22 Ref And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

23 Ref And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
