* And when he was come into the temple , the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching , and said , By what authority doest thou these things ? and who gave thee this authority ? * And Jesus answered and said unto them , I also will ask you one thing , which if ye tell me , I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things . * The baptism of John , whence was it ? from heaven , or of men ? And they reasoned with themselves , saying , If we shall say , From heaven ; he will say unto us , Why did ye not then believe him ? * But if we shall say , Of men ; we fear the people ; for all hold John as a prophet . * And they answered Jesus , and said , We cannot tell . And he said unto them , Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things .
