27And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,28And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?29And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.30The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.31And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?32But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.33And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

35And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?36For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.37David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.38And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,39And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:40Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.41And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.42And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.43And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:44For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
