15 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

²¹ Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.^(A)

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the courtyard of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,^(A)

⁶¹ and said, “This fellow said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.’ ”^(A)

¹⁷ When they saw him, they worshiped him, but they doubted.
