akjv@Matthew:21:23 @ And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you these things? and who gave you this authority?

akjv@Matthew:21:24 @ And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

akjv@Matthew:21:25 @ The baptism of John, from where was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why did you not then believe him?

akjv@Matthew:21:26 @ But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

akjv@Matthew:21:27 @ And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
