23 G2064 When G846 he G2064 had come G1519 into G2411 the temple, G749 the chief priests G2532 and G4245 the elders G2992 of the people G4334 came G846 to him G1321 as he was teaching, G3004 and said, G1722 "By G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 do you G5023 do these things? G5101 Who G1325 gave G4160 you G3778 this G1849 authority?"

24 G2424 Jesus G611 answered G846 them, G2504 "I also G2065 will ask G5209 you G1520 one G3056 question, G3739 which G1437 if G2036 you tell G3427 me, G2504 I likewise G2036 will tell G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G4160 I do G5023 these things.

25 G908 The baptism G2491 of John, G4159 where G2258 was it G1537 from? G3772 From heaven G2228 or G1537 from G444 men?" G1161 They G1260 reasoned G3844 with G1438 themselves, G3004 saying, G1437 "If G2036 we say, G1537 ‘From G3772 heaven,' G2036 he will ask G1223 us, G5101 ‘Why G3767 then G4100 did you G3756 not G4100 believe G846 him?'

26 G1161 But G1437 if G2036 we say, G1537 ‘From G444 men,' G5399 we fear G3793 the multitude, G1063 for G3956 all G2192 hold G2491 John G5613 as G4396 a prophet."

27 G611 They answered G2424 Jesus, G2036 and said, G1492 "We G3756 don't G846 know." He G2036 also said G846 to them, G3761 "Neither G1473 will I G3004 tell G5213 you G1722 by G4169 what G1849 authority G1473 I G4160 do G5023 these things.

29 G611 He answered, G2036 ‘I G2309 will G3756 not,' G1161 but G5305 afterward G3338 he changed G565 his mind, and went.

G2424 Jesus G3004 said G846 to them, G281 "Most certainly G3004 I tell G5213 you G3754 that G5057 the tax collectors G2532 and G4204 the prostitutes G4254 are entering G1519 into G932 the Kingdom G2316 of God G4254 before G5209 you.
