*
And on one of those days ,
as he taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel ,
the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders ,
*
And spake to him saying ,
Tell us ,
by what authority dost thou these things ,
and who is he that gave thee this authority ?
*
And he answering said ,
I will also ask you one thing and tell me ,
Was the baptism of John from heaven or of men ?
*
And they reasoned among themselves ,
*
saying ,
If we say from heaven ,
he will say ,
Why then did ye not believe him ?
*
But if we say of men ,
all the people will stone us ;
*
for they are persuaded that John was a prophet .
*
And they answered ,
They could not tell whence .
Jesus said to them ,
Neither tell I you ,
by what authority I do these things .
