'By What Authority' in the Bible

And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, 'By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will ask you -- I also -- one word, which if ye may tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;

And answering Jesus they said, 'We have not known.' He said to them -- he also -- 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

and they say to him, 'By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will question you -- I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things;

and answering they say to Jesus, 'We have not known;' and Jesus answering saith to them, 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.'

and spake unto him, saying, 'Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?'

and Jesus said to them, 'Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.'
