Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

11:28 Jesus’ authority includes his divine authority to cast out demons (1:22, 27; 5:1-13), heal (1:29–2:12; 5:21-43), forgive sins (2:10), and now cleanse the Temple. Jesus’ authority clearly was from God, but the religious leaders were unwilling to accept it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς? ἢ, τίς σοι ἔδωκεν τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην, ἵνα ταῦτα ποιῇς
by what authority these_‹things› ˱you˲_/are/_doing or who ˱to˲_you gave ¬the authority this in_order_that these_‹things› ˱you˲_/may_be/_doing
The question By what authority do you do these things and the question who gave you this authority, so that you might do these things could: (1) be two separate questions, the first asking about the nature of the authority and the second about who gave it to Jesus. Alternate translation: “By what kind of authority do you do these things, or who is the one who gave you this authority, so that you might do these things” (2) both have the same meaning and be asked together to strongly question Jesus’ authority. If you choose this option, and if it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these two questions into one question. Alternate translation: “Who was it who gave you the authority to do these things?”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ποίᾳ ἐξουσίᾳ ταῦτα ποιεῖς? ἢ, τίς σοι ἔδωκεν τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην
by what authority these_‹things› ˱you˲_/are/_doing or who ˱to˲_you gave ¬the authority this
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of authority, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “How are you empowered to do these things, and who empowered you in this way”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
ποιεῖς & σοι & ποιῇς
˱you˲_/are/_doing & ˱to˲_you & ˱you˲_/may_be/_doing
Because the Jewish leaders are speaking to Jesus, the word you throughout this verse is singular.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ταῦτα ποιεῖς & ταῦτα ποιῇς
these_‹things› ˱you˲_/are/_doing & these_‹things› ˱you˲_/may_be/_doing
In both places, the phrase these things refers to what Jesus has done since he arrived in Jerusalem, including driving people out of the temple, healing people, and teaching. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “do you teach, heal, and drive people out of the temple … you teach, heal, and drive people out of the temple”
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
ἢ
or
Here, the word or introduces another similar question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a related question, or you could leave or untranslated. Alternate translation: “and” or “or again,”
