Mark 11:25-33 ▼

25 But when ye pray, forgive, if ye have any thing against any one, that your heavenly Father may also forgive you your trespasses:

26 but if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive you your trespasses.

27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders come to Him,

28 and ask Him, By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority, to do thus?

29 But Jesus said to them, I also will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, from heaven; He will say, why then did ye not believe him?

32 but if we should say, from men --- they feared the people: (for they they all thought that John was a prophet indeed:)

33 and they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus replied and said unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
