17And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there,
18and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered,
19and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, `No more from thee may fruit be -- to the age;` and forthwith the fig-tree withered.
20And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, `How did the fig-tree forthwith wither?`
21And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;
22and all -- as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.`
23And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, `By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?`
