Pemimpin Yahudi meragukan kuasa Yesus

(Mrk 11:27-33; Luk 20:1-8)

23 Yesus masuk ke pelataran Bait Allah. Ketika Ia sedang mengajar, para imam kepala dan pemimpin Yahudi datang kepada-Nya. Mereka berkata, “Katakanlah kepada kami, dengan kuasa apakah Engkau lakukan hal-hal ini? Siapakah yang memberi kuasa kepada-Mu?”

24 Yesus menjawab, “Aku juga bertanya kepadamu. Jika kamu menjawab, maka Aku akan memberitahukan kepadamu dengan kuasa apa Aku melakukan semua ini. 25 Katakanlah kepada-Ku, ketika Yohanes membaptis orang-orang, apakah kuasanya berasal dari Allah atau dari manusia?”

Mereka membicarakan pertanyaan Yesus. Mereka saling berkata-kata, “Jika kita menjawab, ‘Baptisan Yohanes berasal dari Allah,’ maka Ia akan menjawab, ‘Kalau begitu, mengapa kamu tidak percaya kepada Yohanes?’ 26 Tetapi kita tidak bisa bilang, ‘Baptisan Yohanes berasal dari manusia.’ Kita takut kepada orang-orang, karena mereka semua percaya bahwa Yohanes adalah seorang nabi.”

27 Jadi, mereka menjawab Yesus, “Kami tidak tahu jawabannya.”

Yesus berkata, “Kalau begitu, Aku juga tidak akan mengatakan kepadamu dengan kuasa apa Aku lakukan hal-hal ini.”

The Authority of Jesus Questioned(A)

23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority(B) are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”

24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”

They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”(C)

27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

Jesus’ Authority Questioned(A)

23 (B)Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and (C)said, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?”

24 But Jesus answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things: 25 The (D)baptism of (E)John—where was it from? From heaven or from men?”

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we (F)fear the multitude, (G)for all count John as a prophet.” 27 So they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.”

And He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
