Mk 11:33b ... And the Jesus says to them, ... "Neither I tell you in what authority I do these things."

The fourth and fifth phrases have these 5 narrator and 9 dialog words, ... kai ho Iēsous legei autois, Oude egō legō humin en poia eksousia tauta poiō (And the Jesus says to them, ... "Neither I say to you what kind of authority these things I do").

The 14 words are bottom up or 5 down and 9 up. Jesus knows but he won't say. The 5 narrator words "Kai ho Iēsous legei autois" (And the Jesus says to them) are either tangent to Jesus and the 2 elders or to Jesus and the 2 High Priests. The 2 narrator words "ho Iēsous" (the Jesus) are tangent to "the authority" triangle. Or the 4 dialog words "poia eksousia tauta poiō" (which authority these things I do) are tangent to the God-Head, the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus tells the one seeing the diagram where his authority comes from. Jesus is the "second person" of the Trinity. His title is "the Son of God."
