|
| 27 | And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, | The Authority of Jesus Questioned Mk.11.27-33 (Jerusalem) | Mt.21.23-27 | Lk.20.1-8 |
| 28 | and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?" | |
| 29 | Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. | |
| 30 | Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me." | |
| 31 | And they argued with one another, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' | |
| 32 | But shall we say, 'From men?'" - they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet. | |
| 33 | So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." | |
