when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught
against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive
you your sins.
11:26. But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in
heaven forgive you your sins.
11:27. And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the
temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the
ancients.
11:28. And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things?
And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these
things?
11:29. And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word.
And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these
things.
11:30. The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.
11:31. But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven;
he will say, Why then did you not believe him?
11:32. If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John

11:33. And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus
answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do
these things.
