Jesus answered their question with a question because they were skeptical and cynical: they refused to believe that Jesus is from God and accused him of blasphemy and in their cynicism allied Jesus extraordinary deeds to the work of the devil. A honest answer would only increase their skepticism. They were blinded by the "holiness" of priests and are scared even to question them. Thats why Jesus said the people had eyes but do not see, and ears that do not hear. This applies also to those who refused to believe or accept Jesus in our day.

Jesus taught that both believing and forgiving are key to effective prayer. Why do you think they are important?

Believing is important in praying because we really should believe in our hearts that God is listening to us and He loves us so much and has the power to grant our prayers and will really grant what we pray for because of our belief and faith. While forgiving is important because God wants us to come to Him in prayers with a clean and peaceful heart and mind.

Jesus taught us to forgive those who are against us "so that your Father will also forgive you your transgressions " and grant whatever you pray with complete faith and trust in God. Otherwise like the fig tree which failed to produce fruits it will wither away. This is Gods condition.
