Luke 20:3-8

WNT(i) 3 "I also will put a question to you, "He said; 4 "was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?" 5 So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?' 6 And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced that John was a Prophet." 7 And they answered that they did not know the origin of it. 8 "Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
