Mark 11:27-12:11
Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin? Tell me!”
They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ But if we say, ‘Of human origin’ …”
So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Jesus said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Why?
Jesus has the authority from heaven, but because they don't believe so Jesus didn't tell them, even though he told them they won't believe it.
Answer questions need wisdom either, we don't have to answer all questions for everyone.
Because Jesus did in the temple is a prophet did, the authority came from the Lord, this is a common behavior and action. But because they didn't believe Jesus came from the Lord, Jesus don't need to tell them. If they believe they should have believed John's Baptism and followed him.

耶穌的權柄：耶穌都不接受人的質問，耶穌都反而質問他們使他們無言，而且耶穌透過責備來回答！他們想聽到耶穌說他的權柄來自天上，但是不是順服而是挑戰。
打僕人就在打主人，園主應該把園戶趕走，但是園主一再的忍耐！抵擋的頻率很高。聖經共有17個先知的作者，神給以色列人17次機會。表達出神對你們多麼寬容！我就是園主的孩子！

How?
To humble man, we can tell them the Jesus, but to the proud man, we don't say any suggestions to them. For their heart is hard.
