Matthew 21:24-26 And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; which if you tell Me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? From Heaven or from men? And they reasoned within themselves, saying, If we shall say, From Heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him? ²⁶ But if we shall say From men, we fear the people; for all consider John as a prophet.
