The Authority of Jesus Challenged

Mark 11

27 And they returned to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the princes of the priests and the scribes and the elders came 28 and said unto him, By what faculty doest thou these things? and who gave thee this faculty to do these things? 29 Then Jesus, answering, said unto them, I will also ask of you one word, and respond unto me, and I will tell you with what faculty I do these things. 30 The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of men? Respond unto me. 31 Then they thought inside themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? 32 But if we shall say, Of men, we fear the people, for everyone judged regarding John that he truly was a prophet. 33 And answering, they said unto Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, Neither shall I tell you with what faculty I do these things.
