MATTHEW 21:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?”
And when he came into 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? The authority question from the chief priests and elders is the first of the controversy dialogues that dominate the Jerusalem ministry. The temple cleansing and the healings have provoked the religious leadership's demand for authority: by what authority do you do these things?
