ACV(i)
28 And they say to him, By what authority are thou doing these things? Or who gave thee this authority so that thou may do these things?
29 And having answering, Jesus said to them, I also will question you one word, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The immersion of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But should we say, From men? (They feared the people, for all held John that he was indeed a prophet.)
33 And having answered, they say to Jesus, We do not know. And having answering, Jesus says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
