The Authority of Jesus Now after Jesus entered the temple courts, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said,“By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”

So they answered Jesus,“We don’t know.” Then he said to them,“Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
