And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Entonces le respondieron a Jesús: 'No sabemos.' Y Jesús les dijo: 'Pues yo tampoco les voy a decir con qué autoridad hago estas cosas.'
Jesús no reveló la fuente de su autoridad porque los líderes religiosos se negaron a responder honestamente sobre Juan el Bautista.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of Matthew 21, Jesus had just entered Jerusalem triumphantly and cleansed the temple by driving out the money changers, which angered the chief priests and elders. They challenged His authority for these actions, prompting Jesus to counter with a question about the source of John the Baptist's authority. This exchange underscores the growing conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders, who were more concerned with maintaining their power than seeking truth.
