* 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 , * and they began saying to him , "By what authority do you do 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 . * The baptism of John--was it from heaven , or from men ? Answer me ." * They reasoned with themselves , saying , "If we should say , 'From heaven ;' he will say , 'Why then did you not believe him ?' * If we should say , 'From men '"--they feared the people , for all held John to really be a prophet . * They answered Jesus , "We don 't know ." Jesus said to them , "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things ."
