021:014 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the Temple,
and He cured them.
021:015 But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful
things that He had done and the children who were crying
aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were
filled with indignation.
021:016 "Do you hear," they asked Him, "what these children are saying?"
"Yes," He replied; "have you never read, `Out of the mouths
of infants and of babes at the breast Thou hast brought forth
the praise which is due'?"
021:017 So He left them and went out of the city to Bethany and passed
the night there.
021:018 Early in the morning as He was on His way to return to the city
He was hungry,
021:019 and seeing a fig-tree on the road-side He went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. "On you," He said, "no fruit shall ever again grow." And immediately the fig-tree withered away.
021:020 When the disciples saw it they exclaimed in astonishment, "How instantaneously the fig-tree has withered away!"
021:021 "I solemnly tell you," said Jesus, "that if you have an unwavering faith, you shall not only perform such a miracle as this of the fig-tree, but that even if you say to this mountain, `Be thou lifted up and hurled into the sea,' it shall be done;
021:022 and everything, whatever it be, that you ask for in your prayers, if you have faith, you shall obtain."
021:023 He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?"
