Mark 11:21

Simon

19 And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.

20 As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.

Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.

23 “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
