20 And in the morning, as they were passing, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots. 21 And Simon remembered, and said to him, Master, behold, the fig tree which you cursed has withered. 22 Jesus answered and said to them, If you have faith in God, 23 Truly I say to you, Whoever should say to this mountain, Remove and fall into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will be done, whatever he says will be done to him. 24 Therefore I say to you, Anything you pray for and ask, believe that you will receive it, and it will be done for you. 25 And when you stand up to pray, forgive whatever you have against any man, so that your Father in heaven will forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if you will not forgive, even your Father in heaven will not forgive you your trespasses. 27 And they came again to Jerusalem; and while he was walking in the temple, the high priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him. 28 And they said to him, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority to do these things? 29 Jesus said to them, I will also ask you a word to tell me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Whence is the baptism of John, from heaven, or from men? Tell me. 31 And they reasoned among themselves and said, If we should say to him, from heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him? 32 And if we should say, from men, there is the fear of the people, for all of them regard John as a true prophet. 33 So they answered and said to Jesus, We do not know. He said to them, I will also not tell you by what authority I do these things. Mark 11:20-33, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
