The Authority of Jesus | Bible Story
The city’s priests, elders, and Pharisees were angry with Jesus. He asked people to believe in God and realize the power of their faith.
“If you have faith and don’t doubt, and you tell this mountain to fall into the sea, it will be moved from here and thrown into the sea!” Jesus told the crowds.
If the people started to listen to what he said, the priests and others who had been tricking them in the name of God would lose all their money and power.
So, they tried to stop him by asking, “Who gave you permission to do and say these things?” Jesus replied, “I’ll ask you one question, and if you answer it, I’ll answer your question.” How did John the Baptist know what to do when he baptized people? On the authority of heaven or of the people on earth? This made things difficult for the scribes and other people. “If we say heaven, he’ll ask us why we didn’t believe John the Baptist,” they thought. And if we say men, these people will attack us because they believe John was a prophet!’ “We don’t know,” they replied in the end.
“I also won’t tell you what gives me the right to do these things,” Jesus answered. “A man asked his two sons to work in his vineyard.” One of them said he would help, but never did. The other person refused, but then returned to work. You’re the same as those who say they follow God but don’t. People you think are weak and inadequate will ask for forgiveness and ascend to heaven.
