Jesus’ Authority is Challenged^(A)

²⁷ Then they went into Jerusalem again. While Jesus^[a] was walking in the Temple, the high priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him ²⁸ and asked him, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority to do them?”

²⁹ Jesus told them, “I’ll ask you one question.^[b] Answer me, and then I’ll tell you by what authority I’m doing these things.
