In this video, Mark highlights the matter of Jesus' authority by recording an exchange our Lord had in the temple with "the chief priests and the scribes and the elders" not long before He went to the cross. After witnessing the amazing things that Jesus had said and done, the religious authorities wanted to know the authority that gave Him the right to do such acts. The temple, symbolic of God's authority, was a particularly apt place for such a question to be raised, and the query itself was an attempt by the leaders to trap Jesus. If Jesus were to answer that His authority came from man or that no one gave Him any authority, the religious leaders could safely tell others to ignore Him. God did not send Jesus or appoint Him, so why listen to Him? On the other hand, if Jesus were to reply that God gave Him His authority, the leaders could charge Him with blasphemy. For Christ to claim a divine commissioning would be to claim to be God Himself, since He had earlier assumed the prerogative of forgiving sins.
