Mark 11:19 - 33

Jesus' power and authority are still being questioned.  As Jesus and His followers make their way into the city, the followers are amazed at how quickly Jesus' power takes effect, as evidenced by a fig tree He had cursed the day before.  Jesus teaches that faith does not need to be great to be effective.  His authority is also questioned by the religious authorities.  Rather than clearly state to them the Source of His authority (which they would have denied as possible), He asked them to clarify their current knowledge of authority.  Failing to do so disqualified them from learning more about God's authority.
