* When he had 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 do these things ? Who gave you this authority ?" * Jesus answered them , "I also will ask you one question , which if you tell me , I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things . * The baptism of John , where was it from ? From heaven or from men ?" They reasoned with themselves , saying , "If we say , 'From heaven ,' he will ask us , 'Why then did you not believe him ?' * But if we say , 'From men ,' we fear the multitude , for all hold John as a prophet ." * They answered Jesus , and said , "We don 't know ." He also said to them , "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things .
