“By what authority?” and the baptism of John
무슨 권세로 하느냐는 물음과 요한의 세례
Luke 20:1–8: on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes come to him with the elders and ask him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?” He answers them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me: the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?” They reason with themselves: if they say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’; but if they say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone them, for the people are persuaded that John was a prophet. They answer that they don’t know where it was from, and Jesus says to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
