Lessons From The Fig Tree

²⁰ And while passing by early-in-the-morning, they saw the fig tree having dried-up from the roots. ²¹ And having remembered, Peter says to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has dried-up”. ²² And having responded, Jesus says to them, “Be having faith in God. ²³ Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and be thrown into the sea’, and does not doubt in his heart, but is believing that what he is speaking is coming-about, it will happen for him. ²⁴ For this reason I say to you, be believing that you received all that you are praying and asking, and it will happen for you. ²⁵ And whenever you stand praying, forgive— if you have anything against anyone— in order that your Father in the heavens also may forgive you your trespasses”. ²⁶

Priests Ask, By What Authority Do You Do This? From Where Was John’s Authority?

²⁷ And they come again into Jerusalem. And while He is walking around in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him. ²⁸ And they were saying to Him, “By what-kind-of ^[b] authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority that you may be doing these things?” ²⁹ And Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing, and you answer Me, and I will tell you by what kind of authority I am doing these things: ³⁰ Was the baptism of John from heaven or from humans? Answer Me!” ³¹ And they were discussing it with themselves, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven’, He will say ‘Then for what reason did you not believe him?’ ³² But should we say ‘From humans’?” They were fearing the crowd, for they all were holding as to John that he really was a prophet. ³³ And having responded to Jesus, they say “We do not know”. And Jesus says to them, “Nor am I telling you by what kind of authority I am doing these things”.
