Contextual Overview

27 Jesus and his followers went again to Jerusalem. As Jesus was walking in the Temple, the leading priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders came to him. 28 They said to him, "What authority do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?" 29 Jesus answered, "I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you what authority I have to do these things. 30 Tell me: When John baptized people, was that authority from God or just from other people?" 31 They argued about Jesus' question, saying, "If we answer, ‘John's baptism was from God,' Jesus will say, ‘Then why didn't you believe him?' 32 But if we say, ‘It was from other people,' the crowd will be against us." (These leaders were afraid of the people, because all the people believed that John was a prophet.) 33 So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said to them, "Then I won't tell you what authority I have to do these things."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The baptism of John,.... The doctrine of which he was the first preacher, and the ordinance of which he was the first administrator:

was it from heaven, or of men? was it of divine or of human institution?

answer me; directly and plainly, without any shuffling, or evasion: it is a fair question, and may be answered; and the answer to it our Lord suggests would naturally lead to a proper one to their question; :-.
