and said to them: Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Loose him and bring him.
3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
And if any say to you: Why are you doing this? say that the Lord has need of him; and he will immediately send him hither.

And they went and found the colt tied near the door without, in the street. And they loosed him.
5 Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
And some of those who were standing there, said to them: Why are you loosing the colt?
6 They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

23 For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
For, verily I say to you, that whoever will say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea, and will not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says will come to pass, he shall have whatever he says.
24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
For this reason I say to you: All things that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive them, and they shall be yours.
25 Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have any thing against any one, that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your offenses.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
But if you do not forgive, your Father who is in heaven will not forgive your offenses.

30 The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”

And they reasoned with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, did you not believe him?
32 If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.
