When He entered the temple complex, 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? Who gave You this authority?”

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap Him by what He said.

Someone from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

“Lord,” someone asked Him, “are there few being saved?”

He said to them,

When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Then they asked him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”

This testimony is true. So, rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith

Lest

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

A rich man is wise in his own eyes,
but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.

So that you will not be conceited, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery: A partial hardening has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

Conceit

Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion
and clever in their own sight.

Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
