29 And Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing, and you answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer Me.”
31 And they began reasoning with themselves, saying, “What should we say? If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 But should we say, ‘From men’...” They were afraid of the people, for all were holding that John truly was a prophet.
