Mat 21:23 ESV - And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?" Mat 21:24 ESV - Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things. Mat 21:25 ESV - The baptism of John, from where did it come? From heaven or from man?"

Mat 21:26 ESV - But if we say, 'From man,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all hold that John was a prophet." Mat 21:27 ESV - So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." And he said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. Mat 21:28 ESV - "What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.'
