And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering said unto them,
Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
All Commentaries on Mark 11:33 Go To Mark 11
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Neither do I tell you I do not tell you what I know, because you refuse to own what you know. We should observe, there are here two reasons for concealing the truth from inquirers: 1st, when he that inquireth after the truth is incapable of understanding it; 2d, when on account of some contempt of the truth, or some other evil indisposition, the person is not deserving of having the truth laid open to him. (Ven. Bede)
