And, as he is walking in the temple, the High-priests and the Scribes and the Elders come unto him, 28 and were saying unto him - By what authority, these things, art thou doing? And who to thee hath given this authority that, these things, thou shouldst be doing? 29 But, Jesus, said unto them - I will question you, as to one matter, and answer me, - and I will tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing: 30 The immersion by John, Of heaven, was it, or, of men? Answer me! 31 And they were deliberating among themselves, saying - If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore thendid ye not believe him? 32 But, should we say, Of menâ¦, they were in fear of the multitude, for, one and all, were holding John, in very deed, that he was, a prophet. 33 And, making answer unto Jesus, they say - We know not; and Jesus saith unto them - Neither do, I, tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
