*
And they came again to Jerusalem :
and as he was walking in the temple ,
the chief priests ,
and the scribes ,
and the elders came to him ,
*
And said to him ,
By what authority do you do these things ?
and who gave you this authority to do these things ?
*
And Jesus answered them ,
I will ask you one question ;
answer me ,
and I will tell you by what authority I do these things .
*
The baptism of John ,
was it from heaven ,
or from men ?
answer me .
*
And they reasoned among themselves ,
saying ,
If we shall say ,
From heaven ;
he will say ,
Why then did you not believe him ?
*
But if we shall say ,
From men ;
they feared the people :
for all held that John was indeed a prophet .
*
So they answered and said to Jesus ,
We cannot tell .
And Jesus said to them ,
Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things .
