12. And the next day, as they were departing from Bethania, he was hungry.
13. And when he had seen a fig tree with leaves in the distance, he went to it, in case he might find something on it. And when he had gone to it, he found nothing but leaves. For it was not the season for figs.
14. And in response, he said to it, "From now on and forever, may no one eat fruit from you again!" And his disciples heard this.
15. And they went to Jerusalem. And when he had entered into the temple, he began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. And he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of the vendors of doves.
16. And he would not permit anyone to carry goods through the temple.
17. And he taught them, saying: "Is it not written: 'For my house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations?' But you have made it into a den of robbers."
18. And when the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, had heard this, they sought a means by which they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the entire multitude was in admiration over his doctrine.
19. And when evening had arrived, he departed from the city.
20. And when they passed by in the morning, they saw that the fig tree had dried up from the roots.
