And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them,
Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
All Commentaries on Matthew 21:27 Go To Matthew 21
John Chrysostom
AD 407
After this, because they, dealing craftily, said, We know not, He said not, neither know I, but what? Neither tell I you. Matthew 21:27 For if indeed they had been ignorant it would have been requisite for them to be instructed; but since they were dealing craftily with good reason He answers them nothing.
