Luca 20:2

Listen to Luca 20:2
2 Dicci con quale autorità tu fai queste cose, e chi t’ha data codesta autorità.

Luca 20:2 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:2

And spoke unto him, saying, tell us by what authority
doest thou these things?
&c.] The Arabic and Ethiopic versions read, "this thing"; as if the sanhedrim only referred to his preaching the Gospel, which is mentioned in the preceding verse, and was what he was about when they came to him: but the Persic version reads, "all these things"; not only preaching, but working miracles; and particularly driving the buyers and sellers out of the temple, which especially affected them, they losing their rents thereby:

or who is he that gave thee this authority?
God or man? (See Gill on Matthew 21:23).

2 Dicci con quale autorità tu fai queste cose, e chi t’ha data codesta autorità.
3 Ed egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Anch’io vi domanderò una cosa:
4 Il battesimo di Giovanni era dal cielo a dagli uomini?
5 Ed essi ragionavan fra loro, dicendo: Se diciamo: Dal cielo, egli ci dirà: Perché non gli credeste?
