Malchus stared at the traders. " Your trading will not be bothered today".

One trader sneered. " That's easy for you to say".

" The Temple guard will make sure". Just then, he heard a commotion coming from the Court of the Gentiles. As he ran over, a man ran past him.

" I've been healed". He hugged Malchus. " It's a miracle". He began to hug everyone he could see. " My eyes can see".

Just then, the Rabbi appeared. 

The man hugged him. " Thank you for healing me". He ran off praising God's name.

Then Malchus watched as his Master, Jonathon and some priests approached.

" Rabbi". Caiaphas sneered. " By what authority are you doing these things?".

" I will ask you one thing too". Jesus smiled. " If you tell me, I will tell you by what authority I do these things".

They all nodded.

" Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?".
Caiaphas and the others began to converse.

Finally, one of the priests spoke up. " We do not know".

" Then neither will I tell you by what authority I do what I do".
