Mark 11:30 ASV

²⁸  and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

²⁹  And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰  The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

³¹  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

³²  But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.
