In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry. And seeing a single fig tree by the wayside, he came to it; and he found nothing on it but leaves only, for it was not yet the season of figs. And he said to it: 'May no fruit ever again be born from you forever.' And immediately the fig tree withered. And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying: 'How did it wither at once!' And when evening had come, he went out from the city. And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to him: 'Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which you cursed has withered.' And Jesus, answering, said to them: 'Have the faith of God.'
Amen I say to you, if you have faith and do not waver in your heart, you shall not only do this to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain: 'Be lifted up, and cast yourself into the sea,' it shall be done. And the apostles said to him: 'Lord, increase our faith.' And Jesus said: 'All things whatsoever you ask in prayer, believe that you shall receive them, and they shall come to you. And when you stand to pray, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your sins.'
