Mark 11:20-33 ▼

20 And, passing by the next morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter, calling to remembrance, says to Him, "Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which Thou didst curse has withered away!"

22 And Jesus, answering, saith to them, "Have the faith of God.

23 Verily I say to you, whosoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says comes to pass; he shall have it.

24 Therefore, I say to you, all things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them.

25 And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any; that your Father also Who is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

27 And they come again into Jerusalem. And, as He was walking about in the temple, the high priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him;

28 and said to Him, "By what authority art Thou doing these things! Or who gave Thee this authority to do these things!"

29 And Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing; and answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

30 The immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or from men? Answer Me."

31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying,

32 "If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say, 'Why then did ye not believe him!' But, should we say, 'From men,'"?they feared the people; for all held John to be a prophet indeed.

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