20 And in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig-tree withered from the roots. 21 And Peter, calling his words to mind, said to him: Rabbi, see! the fig-tree which thou didst curse has withered. 22 And Jesus answered and said to them: Have faith in God. 23 For, verily I say to you, that whoever will say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea, and will not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says will come to pass, he shall have whatever he says. 24 For this reason I say to you: All things that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive them, and they shall be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have any thing against any one, that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your offenses. 26 But if you do not forgive, your Father who is in heaven will not forgive your offenses. 27 And they came again into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders, 28 and said to him: By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things? 29 And Jesus answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and if you answer me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men? answer me. 31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him? 32 But if we say, From men, they feared the people; for all regarded John as a prophet indeed. 33 And they answered and said to Jesus: We do not know. And Jesus answering, said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. Mark 11:20-33, Anderson New Testament. Public domain.
