23
5Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 6'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not 7doubt in his heart, but 8believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24
Therefore I tell you, 9whatever you ask in prayer, 10believe that you 11have received[b] it, and it will be yours.
25
And whenever 12you stand praying, 13forgive, 14if you have anything against anyone, so that 15your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."[c]
The Authority of Jesus Challenged

29
Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
