Contextual Overview
1One day as he was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came 2and said to him: “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who is it who gave you this authority?” 3He answered them, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,4was the baptism of John from heaven or of human origin?” 5They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’ 6But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ all the people will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.” 7So they answered that they did not know its origin. 8And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

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;
