Mark 11: 27 - 33
|
| 27 | 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, |
| 28 | and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?" |
| 29 | Jesus said to them, "I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. |
| 30 | Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men? Answer me." |
| 31 | And they argued with one another, "If we say, `From heaven,' he will say, `Why then did you not believe him?' |
| 32 | But shall we say, `From men'?" -- they were afraid of the people, for all held that John was a real prophet. |
| 33 | 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." |
