Following are a number of back-translations of Matthew 21:23:

• Uma: “Yesus also entered into the House of God and taught.

Who gave you power like that?'” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “So-then Isa went back to the big prayer-house and he taught the people. While he was teaching the leaders of the priests and the elders went to him and they said, ‘What is your authority to do as you did the other day? And who has given you the authority?'” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Jesus returned to the House of God, and he taught the people. And some chief priests and some elders of the Jews arrived, and they asked Jesus, ‘All these things that you are doing here in the House of God, what is your authority to do this, and who gave you the authority so that you could do it?'” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
