And they sought how they might destroye him, but they were afrayed of him, for all the people marueled at his doctryne.¹⁹ And at euen he wente out of the cite.²⁰ And on the morow they passed by, and sawe the fygge tre, that it was wythred vnto the rote.²¹ And Peter thought theron, and sayde vnto him: Master, beholde, the fygge tre yt thou cursedest, is wythred awaye.²² Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Haue faith in God.²³ Verely I saye vnto you: Who so euer saieth vnto this mountayne: Avoyde, and cast thy self in to the see, and douteth not in his hert, but beleueth that the thinges shal come to passe which he saieth, then loke what he sayeth, it shal come to passe.²⁴ Therfore I saye vnto you: What so euer ye desyre in youre prayer, beleue that ye shal receaue it, and ye shal haue it.²⁵ And whan ye stonde and praye, forgeue yf ye haue ought ageynst eny man, that youre father also in heauen, maye forgeue you youre trespaces.

²⁷ And they came agayne vnto Ierusalem and whan he wente in the temple, there came vnto him the hye prestes and scrybes and the elders,²⁸ and sayde vnto him: By what auctorite dost thou these thinges? and who gaue the this auctorite to do soch?²⁹ But Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: I wil axe you a worde also, answere me, and I wyl tell you, by what auctorite I do these.³⁰ The baptyme of Ihon, was it from heauen, or of men? Answere me.³¹ And they thought in them selues: yf we saye, it was from heauen, then shal he saye: Why dyd ye not then beleue him?³² But yf we saye: It was of men, then feare we the people, for they all helde that Ihon was a true prophet.³³ And they answered, and saide vnto him: We can not tell. And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: Nether tell I you, by what auctorite I do these thinges.
