011:022 Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
011:023 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain,
'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and doesn't doubt
in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening;
he shall have whatever he says.
011:024 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for,
believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
011:025 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything
against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven,
may also forgive you your transgressions.
011:026 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven
forgive your transgressions."
011:027 They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple,
the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
011:028 and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do
these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
011:029 Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me,
and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
011:030 The baptism of John--was it from heaven, or from men?
Answer me."
011:031 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say,
'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
011:032 If we should say, 'From men'"--they feared the people,
for all held John to really be a prophet.
011:033 They answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said to them,
"Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
012:001 He began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard,
put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower,
rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
012:002 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get
from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
012:003 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
012:004 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him,
wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
012:005 Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others,
beating some, and killing some.
012:006 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him
last to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
012:007 But those farmers said among themselves, 'This is the heir.
Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
012:008 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
012:009 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come
and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
012:010 Haven't you even read this Scripture: 'The stone which the
builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.
012:011 This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes'?"{Psalm
118:22-23}
