Well you see mark was writting to persecuted christians in the time of Nero...Mark was trying to point out that jesus was persecuted too. One of the reasons Jesus was persecuted was because of the way he asserts himself with authority. Jesus was the Son of God so he had all the authority he wanted. But the Pharisees thought Jesus didn't deserve that authority. i guess Jesus' Authority mean't trouble.

Was John’s baptizing from heaven or from men? answer me.” And they went over the question to themselves, thinking “If we say ‘From heaven’ he will say ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ but shall we say ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the populace, for one and all looked on John as having been a real prophet.
