19 And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.
20 In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
21 Then Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered."
22 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, "Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you.
24 So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 "Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses."
27 Again they came to Jerusalem. As he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him
28 and said, "By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority to do them?"
