The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
LUK 19:48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people
were very attentive to hear him.
LUK 20:1 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught
the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and
the scribes came upon him with the elders,
LUK 20:2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest
thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
LUK 20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one
thing; and answer me:
LUK 20:4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
