Mark 11:27-33

Murdock(i) 27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and Scribes and Elders came to him, 28 and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee the authority to do these things? 29 And Jesus said to them: I also will ask you one thing, that ye may tell me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Tell me. 31 And they reasoned with themselves, and said: If we should say to him, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him? 32 But if we should say, From men; there is fear from the people; for they have all held John to be truly a prophet. 33 And they answered, and said to Jesus: We do not know. He said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
