and said unto them, Go to the place which is before you; and as soon as ye are entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which no man ever sat; loose him and bring him.

3 a nd if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it hither.'

23 f or verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

For verily I say unto you that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Remove thyself and cast thyself into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says shall be done whatsoever he says shall be done unto him.

Therefore I say unto you that everything that ye ask for, praying, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come upon you.

28 a nd they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'

and said unto him, By what faculty doest thou these things? and who gave thee this faculty to do these things?

Then they thought inside themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32 B ut if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

But if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people, for everyone judged regarding John that he truly was a prophet.

33 a nd answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

And answering, they said unto Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Neither shall I tell you with what faculty I do these things.
