Holy Week: Holy Tuesday!

Jesus teaches in parables and delivers the Olivet Discourse.

~ Mark 11:27-12:44

And they came again to Jerusalem.
And as he was walking in the temple,
the chief priests and the scribes and
the elders came to him, and they said
to him,”By what authority are you doing
these things, or who gave you this
authority to do them?”

Jesus said to them, "I will ask you
one question; answer me, and I will
tell you by what authority I do these
things. Was the baptism of John from
heaven or from man? Answer me.”
And they discussed it with one?
another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’
he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe
him? ‘But shall we say, ‘From man’?”

- they were afraid of the people, for they
all heard that John really was a prophet.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.”
And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell
you by what authority I do these things.”
