"By what authority do you do this?" " 

A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Mark (11, 27-33) 

At that time, Jesus and his disciples returned to Jerusalem. And as Jesus came and went in the Temple, the high priests, scribes and elders came to find him. They would ask him, "By what authority do you do this?" Or who gave you this authority to do it? Jesus said to them, "I am going to ask you just one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do this: Did John's baptism come from heaven or from men? Answer me. They reasoned among themselves: "If we say: 'From heaven', he will say: 'Why then did you not believe his word?' But are we going to say: “Men”? They were afraid of the crowds because everyone felt that John was really a prophet. They therefore respond to Jesus: “We do not know! "Then Jesus said to them:" I, neither am I telling you by what authority I am doing this. "
