Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves saying, If we say, from heaven, He will reply, Why then did ye not believe him? ²⁶ But if we say, of men, we fear the people, for they all esteem John as a prophet. ²⁷ And therefore in answer to Jesus, they said, We do not know: and He said unto them, Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.
