21. And Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away!
22. And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].
23. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
24. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
25. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
26. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings.
27. And they came again to Jerusalem. And when Jesus was walking about in the [courts and porches of the] temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him,
28. And they kept saying to Him, By what [sort of] authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do them?
29. Jesus told them, I will ask you a question. Answer Me, and then I will tell you by what [sort of] authority I do these things.
30. Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer Me.
31. And they reasoned and argued with one another, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did you not believe him?
