1 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass [G5633] G1722 , that on G3391 one G1565 of those G2250 days G846 , as he G1321 taught [G5723] G2992 the people G1722 in G2411 the temple G2532 , and G2097 preached the gospel [G5734] G749 , the chief priests G2532 and G1122 the scribes G2186 came upon [G5627] G4862 him with G4245 the elders,

2 G2532 And G2036 spake [G5627] G4314 unto G846 him G3004 , saying [G5723] G2036 , Tell [G5628] G2254 us G1722 , by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 doest thou [G5719] G5023 these things G2228 ? or G5101 who G2076 is he [G5748] G1325 that gave [G5631] G4671 thee G5026 this G1849 authority?

3 G1161 And G611 he answered [G5679] G2036 and said [G5627] G4314 unto G846 them G2504 , I G2065 will G2504 also G2065 ask [G5692] G5209 you G1520 one G3056 thing G2532 ; and G2036 answer [G5628] G3427 me:

4 G908 The baptism G2491 of John G2258 , was it [G5713] G1537 from G3772 heaven G2228 , or G1537 of G444 men?

5 G1161 And G4817 they reasoned [G5662] G4314 with G1438 themselves G3004 , saying [G5723] G3754 , G1437 If G2036 we shall say [G5632] G1537 , From G3772 heaven G2046 ; he will say [G5692] G1302 , Why G3767 then G4100 believed ye [G5656] G846 him G3756 not?

6 G1161 But and G1437 if G2036 we say [G5632] G1537 , Of G444 men G3956 ; all G2992 the people G2642 will stone [G5692] G2248 us G1063 : for G2076 they be [G5748] G3982 persuaded [G5772] G2491 that John G1511 was [G5750] G4396 a prophet.

7 G2532 And G611 they answered [G5662] G1492 , that they could G3361 not G1492 tell [G5760] G4159 whence it was .

8 G2532 And G2424 Jesus G2036 said [G5627] G846 unto them G3761 , Neither G3004 tell [G5719] G1473 I G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do [G5719] G5023 these things.
