I'm really not surprised that the Chief priest and the teachers of the law wouldn't answer Jesus' question about John the Baptist's authority. Like most people who want to look for the faults in others, these religious leaders wouldn't admit the truth if it meant that they looked bad. It was all about finding fault in Jesus.
This is an example to us. We should be willing to answer tough questions even if it means that we look bad or will be criticized. Yes, there is a time not to answer a question However, let's not be afraid to speak the truth even when it's uncomfortable. Perhaps if we do then we will be able to see our faults clearly rather than just focus on the sins of others.
