11:27 And they are coming again into Jerusalem ...
  and in the temple ...
  as he is walking around, the chief priests, scribes, and elders are coming before him.
11:28 And they said to him ... In which authority are you doing these things ...
  or who gives you the authority to do these things?
11:29 And Jesus said to them ... I will ask you one "question" ...
  and having answered me ...
  And (then) I will tell you in which authority I do these (things).
11:30 The baptism of John, was it out of heaven ...
  or out of men? ...
  Answer me!
11:31 And they reasoned the word through before themselves ...
  they said ... If we say "out of heaven" ...
  he shall be declaring ... Then through what did you not believe him?
11:32 But if we say ... "Out of men" ...
  They feared the crowd ...
  for all men believed that John really was a prophet.
11:33 And having answered, they say to Jesus ... We don't know.
  and Jesus says to them ... Neither (do) I say to you in which authority I do these things.
