40:021:016 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these
say? And Jesus
saith
unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth
of
babes
and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
40:021:017 And he left them, and went out of the city
into Bethany; and
he
lodged there.
40:021:018 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
40:021:019 And when he saw a fig tree in the way,
he came to it, and
found
nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it,
Let
no
fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And
presently the
fig
tree withered away.
40:021:020 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled,
saying, How
soon
is the fig tree withered away!
40:021:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily
I say unto you, If
ye
have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this
which
is
done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto
this
mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it
shall
be done.
40:021:022 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask
in prayer, believing,
ye
shall receive.
40:021:023 And when he was come into the temple, the
chief priests and
the
elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching,
and
said,
By what authority doest thou these things? and who
gave
thee
this authority?
40:021:024 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
I also will ask you one
thing,
which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by
what
authority I do these things.
40:021:025 The baptism of John, whence was it? from
heaven, or of men?
And
they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall
say,
From
heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe
him?
40:021:026 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the
people; for all hold
John
as a prophet.
40:021:027 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot
tell. And he said
unto
them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these
things.
40:021:028 But what think ye? A certain man had
two sons; and he came to
the
first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
40:021:029 He answered and said, I will not:
but afterward he repented,
and
went.
40:021:030 And he came to the second, and said likewise.
And he answered
and
said, I go, sir: and went not.
40:021:031 Whether of them twain did the will of his
father? They say
unto
him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily
I say unto
you,
That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom
of
God
before you.
