27. And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28. and they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'
29. And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you--I also--one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;
30. the baptism of John--from heaven was it? or from men? answer me.'
