22 And Jesus answered them, "Have ¹¹faith in God.

23 ¹²Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ¹³'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not ¹⁴doubt in his heart, but ¹⁵believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.

24 Therefore I tell you, ¹⁶whatever you ask in prayer, ¹⁷believe that you ¹⁸have received^[b] it, and it will be yours.
