Luc 20:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:3

1 Un jour que Jésus enseignait le peuple dans le temple, et qu'il annonçait l'Évangile, les principaux sacrificateurs et les scribes, avec les anciens, étant survenus,
2 Lui parlèrent et lui dirent: Dis-nous par quelle autorité tu fais ces choses, et qui est celui qui t'a donné cette autorité?
3 Il répondit et leur dit: Je vous demanderai aussi une chose; dites-la-moi:
4 Le baptême de Jean venait-il du ciel ou des hommes?
5 Or, ils raisonnaient ainsi en eux-mêmes: Si nous disons: Du ciel, il dira: Pourquoi donc n'y avez-vous pas cru?
