¹² The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.

¹³ Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

¹⁴ Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it.

¹⁵ They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹⁶ He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.

¹⁷ He taught, saying to them, "Isn't it written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers!"

¹⁸ The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

¹⁹ When evening came, he went out of the city.

²⁰ As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

²¹ Peter, remembering, said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."

²² Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.

²³ For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and doesn't doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

¹ The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

² He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;

³ and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

⁴ I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"

⁵ Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Don't you know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

⁶ Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says Yahweh of Armies.

⁷ Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it!'"

⁸ Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁹ "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you.

¹⁰ Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of Yahweh, which run back and forth through the whole earth."

¹¹ Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"

¹² I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"

¹³ He answered me, "Don't you know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

¹⁴ Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
