Matthew 21:20-29

20And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up!

21And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.

22And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

23And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

24And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things:

25The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?

26but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.

27And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

28But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard.

29And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.
