Contextual Overview
1 On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him, 2 and they declared, saying to Him, "Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?" 3 But He replied to them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me:4 "Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?" 5 They discussed among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why did you not believe him?' 6 "But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, since they are convinced that John was a prophet." 7 And so they answered that they did not know where it came from. 8 And Jesus said to them, "Neither am I telling 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;
