21. Peter remembered what had happened and said to Jesus, “Look, Teacher, the fig tree you cursed has died!”

23. I assure you that whoever tells this hill to get up and throw itself in the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

24. For this reason I tell you: when you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for.

25. And when you stand and pray, forgive anything you may have against anyone, so that your Father in heaven will forgive the wrongs you have done.”

27. They arrived once again in Jerusalem. As Jesus was walking in the Temple, the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders came to him

29. Jesus answered them, “I will ask you just one question, and if you give me an answer, I will tell you what right I have to do these things.

30. Tell me, where did John's right to baptize come from: was it from God or from human beings?”
