19. When evening came, He went out of the city.
20. In the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
21. Peter, calling to remembrance, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”
22. Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
23. For truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.
24. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.
25. And when you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your sins.
26. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins.”
27. They came again to Jerusalem, and as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him,
28. and said, “By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority to do them?”
29. Jesus answered them, “I will also ask of you one question. Answer 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.”
