A Pharisee named Annas asks Jesus what right He has to say the kinds of things he says. In return, Jesus asks Annas a question. Jesus asks whether John's right to baptize came from God or from man. Annas turns with other Pharisees and talks to them. So they go back to Jesus and answer that they don't know who gave John the right to baptize. Jesus stares back. He says since they don't know, he won't tell them who gave Him the authority to teach the things He's been teaching.
