NHEB(i)
3 He answered them, "I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from man?"
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
6 But if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
7 They answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."
