The fig tree that you cursed has withered.”</span></p>
  83. <p><span id="en-EHV-24657" class="text Mark-11-22"><sup class="versenum">22 </sup>Jesus replied, “Have faith in God. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24658" class="text Mark-11-23"><sup class="versenum">23 </sup>Amen I tell you: Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24659" class="text Mark-11-24"><sup class="versenum">24 </sup>Therefore I tell you, everything that you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24660" class="text Mark-11-25"><sup class="versenum">25 </sup>Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24661" class="text Mark-11-26"><sup class="versenum">26 </sup>But if you do not forgive, your Father in heaven will not forgive your sins.”<sup style="font-size: 0.525em; line-height: normal; position: relative; vertical-align: text-top; top: auto; display: inline;"> [1]</sup></span></p>

  85. <p><span class="text Mark-11-27"><sup class="versenum">27 </sup>They went into Jerusalem again. As he was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders came to him. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24663" class="text Mark-11-28"><sup class="versenum">28 </sup>They asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”</span></p>
  86. <p><span id="en-EHV-24664" class="text Mark-11-29"><sup class="versenum">29 </sup>Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24665" class="text Mark-11-30"><sup class="versenum">30 </sup>The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.”</span></p>
  87. <p><span id="en-EHV-24666" class="text Mark-11-31"><sup class="versenum">31 </sup>They discussed this with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ </span> <span id="en-EHV-24667" class="text Mark-11-32"><sup class="versenum">32 </sup>But if we say, ‘From men’. . . .” (They feared the crowd, because everybody held that John really was a prophet.) </span> <span id="en-EHV-24668" class="text Mark-11-33"><sup class="versenum">33 </sup>So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”</span></p>

  313. <p><span class="text Mark-10-17"><sup class="versenum">17 </sup>As Jesus was setting out on a journey, one man ran up to him and knelt in front of him. He asked, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”</span></p>
  314. <p><span id="en-EHV-24601" class="text Mark-10-18"><sup class="versenum">18 </sup>Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24602" class="text Mark-10-19"><sup class="versenum">19 </sup>You know the commandments. ‘You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery.

  316. <p><span id="en-EHV-24604" class="text Mark-10-21"><sup class="versenum">21 </sup>Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”</span></p>
  317. <p><span id="en-EHV-24605" class="text Mark-10-22"><sup class="versenum">22 </sup>When he heard this, he looked sad and went away grieving, because he had great wealth. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24606" class="text Mark-10-23"><sup class="versenum">23 </sup>Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”</span></p>
  318. <p><span id="en-EHV-24607" class="text Mark-10-24"><sup class="versenum">24 </sup>The disciples were amazed at his words.

  319. <p><span id="en-EHV-24609" class="text Mark-10-26"><sup class="versenum">26 </sup>They were even more astonished and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”</span></p>

  321. <p><span id="en-EHV-24611" class="text Mark-10-28"><sup class="versenum">28 </sup>Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.”</span></p>
  322. <p><span id="en-EHV-24612" class="text Mark-10-29"><sup class="versenum">29 </sup>Jesus said, “Amen I tell you: There is no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel, </span> <span id="en-EHV-24613" class="text Mark-10-30"><sup class="versenum">30 </sup>who now at this time will fail to receive one hundred times as much: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields (along with persecutions)—and in the coming age: eternal life. </span> <span id="en-EHV-24614" class="text Mark-10-31"><sup class="versenum">31 </sup>But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”</span></p>
