1 One day as Jesus was teaching {didaskontos} the people in the temple courts \the temple/ and proclaiming the gospel (good news), the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him. 2 “Tell us, they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority? 3 “I will also ask you⁺ a question, Jesus replied. “Tell Me: 4 John’s (YHWH is gracious) baptism (submersion)—was it from heaven, or from men? 5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven, He will ask, ‘Why did you⁺ not believe (have faith) him? 6 But if we say, ‘From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John (YHWH is gracious) was a prophet. 7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from. 8 And Jesus (YHWH saves) replied, “Neither will I tell you⁺ by what authority I am doing these things.
