5 [11:20]And passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. [11:21]And Peter remembering, said to him, Rabbi, behold the fig tree which you cursed is dried up. [11:22]And Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God; [11:23]I tell you truly, that whoever shall say to this mountain, be raised up and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he says will be done, whatever he says shall be done for him. [11:24]Therefore I tell you, all things whatever which you ask in prayer, believe that you shall receive them, and you shall have them. [11:25] And when you stand praying, forgive if you have any thing against any, that your Father in heaven may also forgive your offenses. 6 [11:27]And they came again to Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders came to him, [11:28]and said to him, By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do them? [11:29]And Jesus said to them, I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. [11:30]The baptism of John; was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. [11:31]And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say, Why did you not believe him? [11:32]But if we say from men, they feared the people, for all considered John as a prophet indeed. [11:33]And they answered and said to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. 7 [12:1]And he said to them, in parables, A man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. [12:2]And he sent a servant to the husbandmen at the time to receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard; [12:3] and they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. [12:4]And again he sent another servant to them, and they wounded him on the head, and treated him shamefully. [12:5]And he sent another, and they killed him; and many others, and they beat some, and killed some. [12:6]Having yet one beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, They will reverence my son. 8 [12:7]But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. [12:8]And seizing him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. [12:9]What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and let the vineyard to others. [12:10]Have you not read this Scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, has become the head of a corner; [12:11]this is from the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes? [12:12]And they sought to take him, and feared the multitude, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them. And they left him, and went away.
