Matthew · chapter 21 · verse 22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.Matthew 21:22 · King James Version
What Matthew 21:22 means
Said just after the fig tree withered, to disciples asking how it happened. Believing is the condition in the sentence, and the wider teaching puts more around it — asking according to his will, asking in his name. Read alone it promises more than the rest of scripture does.

Matthew 21:22 in context
20And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
