Luke 20:2

20:2 and said to him, ¹  “Tell us: By what authority ²  are you doing these things? ³  Or who it is who gave you this authority?”

¹ tn Grk “and said, saying to him.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

² tn On this phrase, see BDAG 844 s.v. ποῖος 2.a.γ.

³ sn The leadership is looking back to acts like the temple cleansing (19:45-48). How could a Galilean preacher do these things?
