| 28"By what authority are you doing these things?" they asked. "And who gave you authority to do this?" | 28and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” | 28and began saying to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?" | 28And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? | 28and asked Him, "By what authority are You doing these things?

| 30John's baptism--was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!" | 30Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me.” | 30"Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?

| 31They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why didn't you believe him?' | 31And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ | 31They began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?' | 31And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? | 31They began to argue among themselves: "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Then why didn't you believe him?' |
| 32But if we say, 'Of human origin' . . . " (They feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet.) | 32But shall we say, ‘From man’?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. | 32"But shall we say, 'From men '?"-- they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet. | 32But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. | 32But if we say, 'From men"--they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet. |
| 33So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things." | 33So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.” | 33Answering Jesus, they said, "We do not know."

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. | 33So they answered Jesus, "We don't know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." |
