Mark 11:30-33 ▼

30 Was John's authority to baptize from heaven or from humans? Answer me.|

31 They began discussing this among themselves. |If we say, 'From heaven,' he'll say, 'Then why didn't you believe him?'

32 But if we say, 'From humans'...?| They were afraid of the crowd, because everyone really thought John was a prophet.

33 So they answered Jesus, |We don't know.| Then Jesus told them, |Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things.|
