'By What Authority' in the Bible

When he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the magistrates came to him as he was teaching, and said, by what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

and Jesus answered them, let me ask you one question, if ye answer me that, I shall likewise satisfy you by what authority I do these things.

so they made answer, we cannot tell. and Jesus said, neither shall I tell you, by what authority I do these things.

and asked him, by what authority do you behave thus? and who gave you that authority?

Jesus replied to them, if you will answer one question, that I shall propose to you, then I will tell you by what authority I act thus.

they therefore gave Jesus this answer, we cannot tell. neither do I, said Jesus, acquaint you by what authority I act thus.

and thus accosted him, tell us by what authority do you act thus? and whence do you derive that authority?

Jesus replied, neither will I tell you by what authority I act thus.

and having caused Peter and John to appear, they asked, by what influence, or by what authority have you done this?
