Luke 20:3-8 ▼

3 And, answering, He said to them, "I, too, will ask you a question; and tell Me:

4 The immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or of men?"

5 And they reasoned together with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From Heaven,' He will say, 'Why did ye not believe him?'

6 and if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

7 And they answered that they knew not whence it was ;

8 and Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."
