“...the chief priests and the elders... came unto him as he was teaching, and said,
By what authority doest thou these things,
and who gave thee this authority?” Matthew 21:23
Matthew 21:23 shows the conflict between the authority of the Word, and the authority of the Church. No Bible student would question that Christ was the Word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory...” John 1:14. The only reason the Church exists was and is to preach the Word of God. Ideally, the obedient Church should be in harmony and subservient to the Word of God. The Word was the vine and the Churches were the branches. The unfruitful branches were eventually cut off (John 15:1-3).
