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.”

New International Version
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.

New King James Version
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.

King James Version
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
