Matthew 21:24-27
<p class=default>
24. And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye
tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
<br/>
25. The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with
themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then
believe him?
<br/>
26. But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
<br/>
27. And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither
tell I you by what authority I do these things.
