Mark 11:25-33 ▼

25 And when you? stand praying, if you? have anything against anyone, forgive, so that your? Father who is in the heavens may also forgive you? your? trespasses.”

27 And they come again to Jerusalem, and in His walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him.

28 And they were saying to Him, “By what authority do You do these things? Or who gave You this authority, that You should do these things?”

29 And Jesus said to them, “I will question you? one word, and you? shall 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 were reasoning with themselves, saying, “What should we say? If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you? not believe him?’

32 But should we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the crowd, for all were holding that John truly was a prophet.

33 And answering Jesus, they say, “We do not know.” And Jesus says to them, “Neither do I tell you? by what authority I do these things.”
