Matthew 21:25-27

Sawyer(i) 25 Whence was the baptism of John? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned within themselves, saying, If we say from heaven, he will say to us, Why did you not believe him? 26 But if we say from men, we fear the multitude, for all regard John as a prophet. 27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
