4 was John’s baptism of heavenly or of human origin?”

5 They discussed this among themselves, and said, “If we say, ‘Of heavenly origin,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ then all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7 So they answered that they did not know from where it came.

8 Then Jesus said to them, “Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
