Markus 11:27-12:12 · OHCB
Suka sāke dawowa cikin Urushalima. Da Yesu yana tafiya a filin haikali, sai manyan firistoci, malaman dokoki da kuma dattawa suka zo wurinsa. Suka tambaye, shi suka ce, “Da wane iko kake yin waɗannan abubuwa? Wa kuma ya ba ka ikon yin wannan?” Yesu ya ce, “Zan yi muku tambaya guda.

OHCB · API.Bible

Yesterday we were called to recognize the King; today Jerusalem’s leaders confront Him with a question about His authority.

Jesus returns to the temple, where chief priests, scribes, and elders ask, “By what authority are you doing these things?” The question follows His public actions in Jerusalem and places His authority at the center of the conflict.

A Question About John.

Jesus answers with a question about John’s baptism: was it from heaven or from man? The leaders deliberate, but their reasoning is governed by consequences rather than truth.

We Do Not Know.

They refuse to answer because either response will expose them. Jesus therefore refuses to submit His authority to judges who will not answer honestly about the evidence already before them.

The Vineyard and the Son.

Jesus tells a parable about tenants who reject servants sent by the vineyard owner and finally kill his beloved son. The story turns the authority dispute into an indictment of rejection.

The Rejected Stone.

Jesus cites the stone rejected by builders becoming the cornerstone. The leaders recognize that the parable is about them. Their response is not repentance but a desire to arrest Him.

Tomorrow, listen carefully to how Jesus answers a question designed to place Him on trial.

Consider this.

What does this encounter reveal about Jesus?

Notice the encounter

Read Mark 11:27–12:12 and notice what Jesus exposes beneath the leaders’ question about authority.

The JesusAccordingToJesus.com staff is committed to helping readers examine the person, words, and claims of Jesus with clarity, honesty, and reverence. Our work is shaped by a deep conviction that Jesus must be understood first by what He said about Himself, why He came, and what He calls every person to consider. We write for thoughtful readers, seekers, skeptics, and believers, pointing beyond mere religion to the living Christ, in whom truth, grace, meaning, and eternal hope are found.
