What happened on Tuesday during the Holy Week?

After lodging in Bethany, Jesus returns to Jerusalem where he taught in the temple. The chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and asked him by what authority was he doing such things.

Jesus asked them by what authority that John taught by, his baptism, where did it come? The chief priests did not have an answer since any answer they came up with appeared to support Jesus having authority to do the things that he was doing. So, they gave no answer with the response of “we do not know”. Then, Jesus said that he would not tell them by what authority he did these things.

Then, Jesus continued to teach. He taught the parable of the two sons, the parable of the tenants, the parable of the wedding feast and taught the Sadducees about the resurrection.
