What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
But Jesus, answering, said to them: I will also ask you one question, which if you tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. This is what is commonly said: A bad knot of a tree, a bad nail or wedge must be driven in. The Lord could have refuted the calumny of the tempters with an open response, but He wisely asks a question, so that they themselves, either by silence or by their answer, may be condemned.
Thomas Aquinas
According to Chrysostom, when someone asks in order to learn, then the truth should be answered to him; but when he asks in order to test, then he must be reproved and confuted. So the Lord, because he knew they were testing him, said: "I will also ask you one thing."
