11:12-14, 20-24 (NRSV)
Faith that moves mountains
On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing in
the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether perhaps he would find
anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not
the season for figs. He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again."
And his disciples heard it. ...
In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered away to its
roots. Then Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that
you cursed has withered." Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. Truly I tell
you, if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and if you
do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will
be done for you. So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you
have received it, and it will be yours.
