One day, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up and said to him, \u201cTell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.\u201d He answered them, \u201cI also will ask you a question; now tell me, Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?\u201d And they discussed it with one another, saying, \u201cIf we say, \u2018From heaven,\u2019 he will say, \u2018Why did you not believe him?\u2019 But if we say, \u2018From men,\u2019 all the people will stone us; for they are convinced that John was a prophet.\u201d So they answered that they did not know whence it was. And Jesus said to them, \u201cNeither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.\u201d<\/p>\n
