Mark:11:27-33
wmth@Mark:11:27 @ They came again to Jerusalem; and as He was walking in the Temple, the High Priests, Scribes and Elders came to Him
wmth@Mark:11:28 @ and asked, »By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?«
wmth@Mark:11:29 @ »And I will put a question to you,« replied Jesus; »answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
wmth@Mark:11:30 @ John's Baptism–was it of Heavenly or of human origin? Answer me.«
wmth@Mark:11:31 @ So they debated the matter with one another. »Suppose we say, `Heavenly,'« they argued, »he will ask, `Why then did you not believe him?'
wmth@Mark:11:32 @ Or should we say, `human?'« They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.
wmth@Mark:11:33 @ So they answered Jesus, »We do not know.«»Nor do I tell you,« said Jesus, »by what authority I do these things.«
