As Jesus was walking in the Temple [complex; area; courts; see 11:15], the ·leading [^Tchief] priests, the ·teachers of the law [scribes], and the elders came to him. ²⁸ They said to him, “What authority do you have to do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

²⁹ Jesus answered, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you what authority I have to do these things.
