23 And on His having come into the temple teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him, saying, “By what authority do You do these things?” And who gave You this authority? 24 And answering, Jesus said to them, “I will also ask you? one word, which if you? tell Me, I will also tell you? by what authority I do these things. 25 From where was the baptism of John? From heaven or from men?” And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Why then did you? not believe him?’ 26 But if we should say, ‘From men,’ we fear the crowd, for all hold John as a prophet.” 27 And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither do I tell you? by what authority I do these things.
