GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 21:23-27

Where was John’s baptism from?

Authority is in question here. Specifically the source of authority is in question. People accepted the baptism of John the Baptist and many went after him and were baptized. Some Pharisees and the other leaders were also among the group of people who went to John for Baptism.

Jesus is also aware of the following of the people. When the leaders raised their questions on the source of authority of Jesus then Jesus wanted to know whether they were aware of the source of authority of John the Baptist. Indirectly Jesus affirms that the authority of John the Baptist was from God and so also his own.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மத்தேயு 21:23-27

யோவானுக்கு> திருமுழுக்கு அளிக்கும் அதிகாரம் எங்கிருந்து வந்தது?

அதிகாரம் ஆண்டவனிடமிருந்து என்பதுதான் இயேசுவின் மனநிலை. திருமுழுக்கு யோவானின் அதிகாரமும் இயேசுவின் அதிகாரமும் கடவுளிடமிருந்துதான் என்பது உறுதி.
