Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him.“ By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked.“ And who gave you this authority?”

And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said,“ By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”

When Jesus returned to the Temple and began teaching, the leading priests and elders came up to him. They demanded,“ By what authority are you doing all these things? Who gave you the right?”

When he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching and said,“ By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority?”

When He entered the temple area, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said,“ By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

Now when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said,“ By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?”

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

When He entered the temple complex, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to Him as He was teaching and said,“ By what authority are You doing these things? Who gave You this authority?”

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

Now after Jesus entered the temple courts, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said,“ By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?”

When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said,“ By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

They had Peter and John brought to them. They wanted to question them.“ By what power did you do this?” they asked.“ And through whose name?”

The man said,“ Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking about killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses became afraid. He thought,“ People must have heard about what I did.”

“ But the man who was treating the other one badly pushed Moses to one side. He said,‘ Who made you ruler and judge over us?

At that time Jesus spoke to the crowd.“ Am I leading a band of armed men against you?” he asked.“ Do you have to come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courtyard teaching. And you didn’t arrest me.

Every day Jesus was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests and the teachers of the law were trying to kill him. So were the leaders among the people.But they couldn’t find any way to do it. All the people were paying close attention to his words.One day Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courtyard. He was announcing the good news to them. The chief priests and the teachers of the law came up to him. The elders came with them.“ Tell us by what authority you are doing these things,” they all said.“ Who gave you this authority?”Jesus replied,“ I will also ask you a question. Tell me,was John’s baptism from heaven? Or did it come from people?”They talked to one another about it. They said,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ he will ask,‘ Why didn’t you believe him?’But if we say,‘ From people,’ all the people will throw stones at us and kill us. They believe that John was a prophet.”So they answered Jesus,“ We don’t know where John’s baptism came from.”Jesus said,“ Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things either.”

The priests in the family line of Aaron were separated into groups. The groups were separated according to the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did. They didn’t have any sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests.With the help of Zadok and Ahimelek, David separated the priests into groups. Each group served in its appointed order and time. Zadok belonged to the family line of Eleazar. Ahimelek belonged to the family line of Ithamar.More leaders were found among Eleazar’s family line than among Ithamar’s. So the priests were separated into their groups based on that fact. There were 16 family leaders from Eleazar’s line. There were eight family leaders from Ithamar’s line.The priests were separated into their groups by casting lots. That was the fair way to do it. The priests were officials of the temple and officials of God. They came from the family lines of Eleazar and Ithamar.Shemaiah was a Levite. He was the son of Nethanel. Shemaiah was the writer who recorded the names of the priests. He wrote them down in front of the king and the officials. The officials included Zadok the priest and Ahimelek. Ahimelek was the son of Abiathar. The officials also included the leaders of the families of the priests and the Levites. One family was chosen by lot from Eleazar’s group. Then one was chosen from Ithamar’s group.The 1st lot chosen was for Jehoiarib. The 2nd was for Jedaiah.The 3rd was for Harim. The 4th was for Seorim.The 5th was for Malkijah. The 6th was for Mijamin.The 7th was for Hakkoz. The 8th was for Abijah.The 9th was for Jeshua. The 10th was for Shekaniah.The 11th was for Eliashib. The 12th was for Jakim.The 13th was for Huppah. The 14th was for Jeshebeab.The 15th was for Bilgah. The 16th was for Immer.The 17th was for Hezir. The 18th was for Happizzez.The 19th was for Pethahiah. The 20th was for Jehezkel.The 21st was for Jakin. The 22nd was for Gamul.The 23rd was for Delaiah. The 24th was for Maaziah.That was their appointed order for serving when they entered the Lord’ s temple. That order was based on the rules Aaron had given them long ago. Everything was done exactly as the Lord had commanded Aaron. The Lord is the God of Israel.

Jesus and his disciples arrived again in Jerusalem. He was walking in the temple courtyard. Then the chief priests came to him. The teachers of the law and the elders came too.“ By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked.“ Who gave you authority to do this?”Jesus replied,“ I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.Was John’s baptism from heaven? Or did it come from human authority? Tell me!”They talked to each other about it. They said,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ he will ask,‘ Then why didn’t you believe him?’But what if we say,‘ From human authority’?” They were afraid of the people. Everyone believed that John really was a prophet.So they answered Jesus,“ We don’t know.” Jesus said,“ Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things either.”
