Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ The immersion of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? But they reasoned among themselves, and said, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him? ²⁶ But if we reply, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet. ²⁷ And they answered and said to Jesus: We know not. And he said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
