Jesus' Authority Questioned1:04 – 2:52

1:04

Jesus entered the temple courts, and while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him.

1:14

By what authority are you doing these things? They asked.

1:19

And who gave you this authority? Okay, so they're in the temple courts.

1:25

The temple is the most important place where you can worship God at this time.

1:33

And that's the temple.

1:35

And Jesus is teaching there.

1:37

Jesus has come to teach in the temple.

1:42

And also at one point he came to the temple and he was angry and he told the people who were selling in the temple to stop doing that.

1:54

He was showing authority.

1:57

What's authority? Well, it says, I have the power to do this.

2:03

I have been given the power to do this.

2:06

I have been given the responsibility to do this.

2:10

I have authority.

2:13

Your boss has the authority to tell you to do your work.

2:19

Okay, so what authority does Jesus have, they say.

2:23

By what authority are you doing these things, they asked.

2:27

And who gave you this authority? You know, if you're a religious leader, if you're a leader, someone gives you that job.

2:37

Who gave Jesus this authority? They don't know him.

2:43

Now, I don't think they really want to know who gave him this authority.

2:49

I think what they're really saying is, you can't be doing these things.
