Luke 20:8 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:8

And Jesus said unto them
Since they would not give him a direct answer to his question:

neither tell I you by what authority I do these things;
nor was there any need of it; they might easily perceive by what he had said, from whence he professed to have received his authority, from God, and not men; (See Gill on Matthew 21:27).

Luke 20:8 In-Context

6 and if we say, Of men, all the people shall stone us; for they be certain, that John is a prophet.

7 And they answered, that they knew not, of whence it was.

8 And Jesus said to them, Neither I say to you, in what power I do these things.

9 And he began to say to the people this parable. A man planted a vineyard [Some man planted a vineyard], and hired it to tillers; and he was gone in pilgrimage long time.

10 And in the time of gathering of grapes, he sent a servant to the tillers, that they should give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; which beat him, and let him go void.
