Mark 11:27-33

27And they cameG2064 againG3825 to JerusalemG2414. 1And as He was walkingG4043 in the templeG2413 area, the chiefG749 priestsG749, the scribesG1122, and the eldersG4245 cameG2064 to Him,

28and began sayingG3004 to Him, “By whatG4169 authorityG1849 are You doingG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778, orG2228 whoG5101 gaveG1325 You thisG3778 authorityG1849 to doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778?”

29But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “I will askG1905 you oneG1520 questionG3056, and you answerG611 Me, and then I will tellG3004 you by whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778.

30Was the baptismG908 of JohnG2491 from heavenG3772, orG2228 from menG444? AnswerG611 Me.”

31And they began consideringG1260 the implications amongG4314 themselvesG1438, sayingG3004, “IfG1437 we sayG3004, ‘From heavenG3772,’ He will sayG3004, ‘ThenG3767 whyG1223G5101 did you not believeG4100 him?’

32But should we sayG3004, ‘From menG444’?”--they wereG5399 afraidG5399 of the 2peopleG3793, for they allG537 consideredG2192 JohnG2491 to have beenG1510 a realG3689 prophetG4396.

33AnsweringG611 JesusG2424, they saidG3004, “We do not knowG3609.” And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “NeitherG3761 am I tellingG3004 you by whatG4169 authorityG1849 I doG4160 theseG3778 thingsG3778.”
