Jesus' Authority Questioned

(Mat 21:23–27; Mar 11:27–33 )
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:1 - On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:2 - and they spoke, saying to Him, “Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:3 - Jesus answered and said to them, “I will also ask you a [fn]question, and you tell Me:
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:4 - “Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:5 - They reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:6 - “But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:7 - So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:8 - And Jesus said to them, “Nor [fn]will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:10 - “At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him some of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:14 - “But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, ‘This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:15 - “So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What, then, will the [fn]owner of the vineyard do to them?
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:16 - “He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:17 - But [fn]Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written:
‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED,
THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone’?

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:23 - But He detected their trickery and said to them,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:24 - “Show Me a [fn]denarius. Whose [fn]likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s.”

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:28 - and they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that IF A MANS BROTHER DIES, having a wife, AND HE IS CHILDLESS, HIS BROTHER SHOULD [fn]MARRY THE WIFE AND RAISE UP CHILDREN TO HIS BROTHER.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:29 - “Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife and died childless;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:30 - and the second
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:31 - and the third [fn]married her; and in the same way [fn]all seven [fn]died, leaving no children.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:32 - “Finally the woman died also.

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:34 - Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:35 - but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:36 - for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:37 - “But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the burning bush, where he calls the Lord THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB.

“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:43 - UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET.”’
Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:44 - “Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord,’ and how is He his son?”
(Mat 23:1–7; Mar 12:38–40 )

Unchecked Copy BoxLuk 20:47 - who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
