Matthew 21:25 in Context — Matthew 21
23 Jésus se rendit dans le temple, et, pendant qu’il enseignait, les principaux sacrificateurs et les anciens du peuple vinrent lui dire: Par quelle autorité fais-tu ces choses, et qui t’a donné cette autorité?
24 Jésus leur répondit: Je vous adresserai aussi une question; et, si vous m’y répondez, je vous dirai par quelle autorité je fais ces choses.
25 Le baptême de Jean, d’où venait-il? Du ciel, ou des hommes? Mais ils raisonnèrent ainsi entre eux; Si nous répondons: Du ciel, il nous dira: Pourquoi donc n’avez-vous pas cru en lui?
26 Et si nous répondons: Des hommes, nous avons à craindre la foule, car tous tiennent Jean pour un prophète.
27 Alors ils répondirent à Jésus: Nous ne savons. Et il leur dit à son tour: Moi non plus, je ne vous dirai pas par quelle autorité je fais ces choses.
