<p>11:29 <em>And Jesus said to them: I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things</em>- It is not necessarily wrong to avoid answering a question- although few of us could do so in the spiritually and logically flawless way the Lord did here, let alone at a moment's notice. The sense of the Greek is not &quot;If you tell me, I will tell you&quot;. The sense rather is: 'If you answer this question, then in that answer you will have My telling you the answer to your question'. They finally answered that 'We cannot know' (AV again is unhelpful by offering here &quot;We cannot tell&quot;- the Greek words for AV &quot;tell&quot; are all different in this section).</p>
