Mark 11:29

New International Reader's Version

Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

See the chapter Copy

The Lord says, “My servant will act wisely and accomplish his task. He will be highly honored. He will be greatly respected.

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.

“By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked. “Who gave you authority to do this?”

Was John’s baptism from heaven? Or did it come from human authority? Tell me!”
