Luke 19:47-20:8
And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to put Him to death,and yet they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.On one of the days while He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders confronted Him,and they declared, saying to Him,“ Tell us by what authority You are doing these things, or who is the one who gave You this authority?”But He replied to them,“ I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me:Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?”They discussed among themselves, saying,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ He will say,‘ Why did you not believe him?’But if we say,‘ From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, since they are convinced that John was a prophet.”And so they answered that they did not know where it came from.And Jesus said to them,“ Neither am I telling you by what authority I do these things.”

1 Chronicles 24 1-1 Chronicles 24 19
Now the divisions of the descendants of Aaron were these: the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their ministry.Since more chief men were found from the descendants of Eleazar than the descendants of Ithamar, they divided them this way: there were sixteen heads of fathers’ households of the descendants of Eleazar, and eight of the descendants of Ithamar according to their fathers’ households.So they were divided by lot, the one as the other; for they were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God, both from the descendants of Eleazar and the descendants of Ithamar.Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them in the presence of the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and the Levites; one father’s household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.Now the first lot came out for Jehoiarib, the second for Jedaiah,the third for Harim, the fourth for Seorim,the fifth for Malchijah, the sixth for Mijamin,the seventh for Hakkoz, the eighth for Abijah,the ninth for Jeshua, the tenth for Shecaniah,the eleventh for Eliashib, the twelfth for Jakim,the thirteenth for Huppah, the fourteenth for Jeshebeab,the fifteenth for Bilgah, the sixteenth for Immer,the seventeenth for Hezir, the eighteenth for Happizzez,the nineteenth for Pethahiah, the twentieth for Jehezkel,the twenty first for Jachin, the twenty second for Gamul,the twenty third for Delaiah, and the twenty fourth for Maaziah.These were their offices for their ministry when they entered the house of the Lord according to the ordinance given to them through their father Aaron, just as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.

Mark 11:27-33
And they* came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple area, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders* came to Him,and began saying to Him,“ By what authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do these things?”But Jesus said to them,“ I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me.”And they began considering the implications among themselves, saying,“ If we say,‘ From heaven,’ He will say,‘ Then why did you not believe him?’But should we say,‘ From men’?”— they were afraid of the people, for they all considered John to have been a real prophet.Answering Jesus, they* said,“ We do not know.” And Jesus* said to them,“ Neither am I telling you by what authority I do these things.”
