29 Jesus replied to them, if you will answer one question, that I shall propose to you, then I will tell you by what authority I act thus. 30 the baptism of John, was it of divine, or of human institution? 31 answer me that, upon this they reasoned thus with themselves; if we should say, it was divine, he will urge, why then did you not believe him? 32 if we should say, it was a human institution, we run a risk from the people. (for they all believed John was a true prophet.) 33 they therefore gave Jesus this answer, we cannot tell, neither do I, said Jesus, acquaint you by what authority I act thus.
