King James Version

27

And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

28

And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

29

And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

31

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

32

But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

33

And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

    “The Authority of Jesus They came again to Jerusalem. While Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders came up to him and said,“By what authority are you doing these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?” Jesus said to them,“I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things: John’s baptism– was it from heaven or from people? Answer me.” They discussed with one another, saying,“If we say,‘From heaven,’ he will say,‘Then why did you not believe him?’ But if we say,‘From people–’”(they feared the crowd, for they all considered John to be truly a prophet). So they answered Jesus,“We don’t know.” Then Jesus said to them,“Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.””
