Mark 11:27-33

27

After their returnG2064G3825 toG1519 JerusalemG2414G2532, Jesus was walkingG4043 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, and theG3588 chief priestsG749, scribesG1122, andG2532 eldersG4245 came upG2064 toG4314 HimG846. 28“ByG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 are You doingG4160 these thingsG3778?” they askedG2036. “And whoG5101 gaveG1325 YouG4771 theG3588 authorityG1849 toG2443 doG4160 them?”

29“I will askG1905 youG4771 oneG1520 questionG3056,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036G846, “andG2532 if you answerG611 MeG1473, I will tellG2046 youG4771 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I am doingG4160 these thingsG3778. 30John’sG2491 baptismG908—was itG1510 fromG1537 heavenG3772 orG2228 fromG1537 menG444? AnswerG611 MeG1473!”

They deliberatedG1260 amongG4314 themselvesG1438 whatG5101 they should answerG2036: “IfG1437 we sayG2036, ‘FromG1537 heavenG3772,’ He will askG2046, ‘WhyG1223G5101 thenG3767 did you not believeG3756G4100 himG846?’ 32ButG235 if we sayG2036, ‘FromG1537 menG444’...” they were afraid ofG5399 theG3588 peopleG3793, forG1063 they allG537 heldG2192 thatG3588 JohnG2491 trulyG3689 wasG1510 a prophetG4396. 33SoG2532 they answeredG611, “We do not knowG3756G1492.”

AndG2532 JesusG2424 repliedG3004G846, “NeitherG3761 will IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 byG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 I am doingG4160 these thingsG3778.”
