and they said to him , "
By what authority are you doing these things ,
or who gave you this authority to do them ?"
*
Jesus said to them , "
I will ask you a question ;
answer me ,
and I will tell you by what authority I do these things .
*
Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men ?
Answer me ."

And they argued with one another , "
If we say , `
From heaven ,'
he will say , `
Why then did you not believe him ?'
*

From men '?"--
they were afraid of the people ,
for all held that John was a real prophet .
*
So they answered Jesus , "
We do not know ."
And Jesus said to them , "
Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things ."
