A Question about Jesus' Authority

(Matthew 21.23-27; Luke 20.1-8)

²⁷ Jesus and his disciples returned to Jerusalem. And as he was walking through the temple, the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses came over to him. ²⁸ They asked, “What right do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

²⁹ Jesus answered, “I have just one question to ask you. If you answer it, I will tell you where I got the right to do these things.
