¹⁹ and when evening came, he was going forth without the city.

²⁰ And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree having been dried up from the roots,

²¹ and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.'

²² And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;

²³ for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

²⁴ Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

²⁵ `And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

²⁶ and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'

²⁷ And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

²⁸ and they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'

²⁹ And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you -- I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

³⁰ the baptism of John -- from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.'

³¹ And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

³² But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

³³ and answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'
