Mark 11:20-33 ▼

20 And going along in the morning, they saw the fig-tree utterly withered from the roots.

21 And Peter remembering says to Him, Master, behold, the fig-tree which thou didst execrate is withered away.

22 And Jesus responding says to them, Have God's faith.

23 Truly I say unto you, That whosoever may say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and may not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says does take place; it shall be unto him.

24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever you pray for and ask, believe that you just now received them, and they shall be unto you.

25 And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have aught against any one; in order that your Father who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses.

27 They come again into Jerusalem. And He walking round in the temple, the high priests, and scribes, and elders come to Him;

28 and they said to Him, By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority that you may do them?

29 And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one word, and you respond to me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

30 Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? answer me.

31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, It is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on him?

32 But if we may say, From men; they feared the people: for all held John that he was a prophet.

33 And responding they say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
