The enemies of Jesus often tried to trap Him by asking a question (Mark 12:13). As the religious leaders had been unable to find any evidence which would justify executing Jesus (because He had not committed any crime), they tried to get Him to incriminate Himself. On this occasion, they had asked Him the source of His authority (Matthew 21:23). They reckoned that if He admitted again that He had come from heaven (John 6:38-42) then they could accuse Him of blasphemy.
