021:021 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, if you
have faith, and don't doubt, you will not only do what was
done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain,
'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.
021:022 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
021:023 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and
the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching,
and said, "By what authority do you do these things?
Who gave you this authority?"
021:024 Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question,
which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority

021:025 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?"
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,'

021:026 But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the multitude, for all hold
John as a prophet."
021:027 They answered Jesus, and said, "We don't know."
He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority
I do these things.
021:028 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came
to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.'

'I go, sir,' but he didn't go.
021:031 Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to him,
