The Authority of Jesus is Questioned
NARRATOR.
They came to Jerusalem again, and as Jesus was walking in the Temple, teaching the people and proclaiming the good news, the chief
priests and the scribes came up together along with the elders of the people and spoke to him as he taught.
GROUP.
Tell us, by what authority do you do all these things...who is that gave you this authority?
JESUS.
And I, will ask you a question, only one, and if you tell me the answer to it, I will tell you by what authority I do these things. The
baptism of John, where did it originate? Was it from heaven, or from man? Give me your answer.
GROUP. [Discussing it among themselves]
If we say it is from heaven, he'll say, "Then why didn't you believe him?" And if we dare to say it is from man, we will have the
people to contend with and we fear them. They will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a real prophet...We can't tell where
it came from.
JESUS.
Then neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:23-27; Mark 11:27-33; Luke 20:1-8
