Contextual Overview
1 One day, Jesus was teaching in the temple and telling the good news. So the chief priests, the teachers, and the nation's leaders 2 asked him, "What right do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?" 3 Jesus replied, "I want to ask you a question. 4 Who gave John the right to baptize? Was it God in heaven or merely some human being?" 5 They talked this over and said to each other, "We can't say that God gave John this right. Jesus will ask us why we didn't believe John. 6 And we can't say that it was merely some human who gave John the right to baptize. The crowd will stone us to death, because they think John was a prophet." 7 So they told Jesus, "We don't know who gave John the right to baptize." 8 Jesus replied, "Then I won't tell you who gave me the right to do what I do."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he answered and said unto them,.... That is, Jesus replied to them, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions express it:
I will also ask you one thing, and answer me; when he also promised, that if they would give him an answer to his question, he would satisfy them in the point they interrogated him about: and as this was a prudent decline to avoid the snare they laid for him, so it was not an impertinent reply to them; since it led on to a proper answer to their question, as appears by the case proposed;
