By What Authority?

What is the source of true authority? Jesus, a Rabbi without one of his own, who never studied in the Rabbinic Schools of the day, is questioned in the temple. He rabbinically makes them answer their own question by asking them the source of John's baptism, the man who most clearly affirmed the authority of the One for which he prepared the way.

What a picture to see Jesus, who has no authority in the eyes of these men, yet divinely has all authority in heaven and on earth, standing opposite these religious leaders, who have every human credential, yet prove to have no true authority from God.
