27 They arrived again
in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief
priests, the teachers of the law and the elders came to him.
28 "By what authority are you doing these
things?" they asked. "And who gave you authority to do this?"
29 Jesus replied, "I will ask you one
question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these
things. 30 John's baptism--was it from
heaven, or from men? Tell me!"
31 They discussed it among themselves
and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why didn't you believe
him?' 32 But if we say, 'From men'...."
(They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.)
33 So they answered Jesus, "We don't
know."
Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these
things."
