Mark 11:27-33
21st Century King James Version
27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, there came to Him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders,
28 and said unto Him, “By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority to do these things?”
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, “I will also ask of you one question; answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John: was it from Heaven, or of men? Answer Me.”
31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we shall say ‘From Heaven,’ he will say ‘Why then did ye not believe him?’
32 But if we shall say ‘Of men’” — they feared the people, for all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, “We cannot tell.” And Jesus answering, said unto them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

American Standard Version
27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders; 28 and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things? 29 And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one [a]question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me. 31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? 32 [b]But should we say, From men—they feared the people: [c]for all verily held John to be a prophet. 33 And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
