Religious authorities tried to entrap Jesus many times. In Mark, Jesus agreed to show his authority was of God if they answered one question of his. They dodged answering because it was not a sincere question. Let God show you who is a sincere seeker and who is not.
Mark 11:29-33 (MSG) 29-30 Jesus responded, “First let me ask you a question. Answer my question and then I’ll present my credentials. About the baptism of John—who authorized it: heaven or humans? Tell me.”31-33 They were on the spot, and knew it. They pulled back into a huddle and whispered, “If we say ‘heaven,’ he’ll ask us why we didn’t believe John; if we say ‘humans,’ we’ll be up against it with the people because they all hold John up as a prophet.” They decided to concede that round to Jesus. “We don’t know,” they said. Jesus replied, “Then I won’t answer your question either.”
