Matthew 21:17-32
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city to Bethany, and there he spent the night.
18 When he was going back to the city in the morning, he was hungry.
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went over to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. And he said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you again." And immediately the fig tree withered.
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed and said, "How was it that the fig tree withered immediately?"
21 Jesus said to them in reply, "Amen, I say to you, if you have faith and do not waver, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will be done.
22 Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive."
23 When he had come into the temple area, the chief priests and the elders of the people approached him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?"
24 Jesus said to them in reply, "I shall ask you one question, and if you answer it for me, then I shall tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Where was John's baptism from? Was it of heavenly or of human origin?" They discussed this among themselves and said, "If we say 'Of heavenly origin,' he will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
26 But if we say, 'Of human origin,' we fear the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet."
27 So they said to Jesus in reply, "We do not know." He himself said to them, "Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 "What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, 'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.'
29 He said in reply, 'I will not,' but afterwards he changed his mind and went.
30 The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, 'Yes, sir,' but did not go.
31 Which of the two did his father's will?" They answered, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.
32 When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him
Proverbs 10:1-16
1 The Proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes his father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
2 Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but virtue saves from death.
3 The LORD permits not the just to hunger, but the craving of the wicked he thwarts.
4 The slack hand impoverishes, but the hand of the diligent enriches.
5 A son who fills the granaries in summer is a credit; a son who slumbers during harvest, a disgrace.
6 Blessings are for the head of the just, but a rod for the back of the fool.
7 The memory of the just will be blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.
8 A wise man heeds commands, but a prating fool will be overthrown.
9 He who walks honestly walks securely, but he whose ways are crooked will fare badly.
10 He who winks at a fault causes trouble, but he who frankly reproves promotes peace.
11 A fountain of life is the mouth of the just, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
12 Hatred stirs up disputes, but love covers all offenses.
13 On the lips of the intelligent is found wisdom, (but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence).
14 Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool is imminent ruin.
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city; the ruination of the lowly is their poverty.
16 The just man's recompense leads to life, the gains of the wicked, to sin.
