Mark 11:30-33 ▼

30 The baptism of John--was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me.|

31 They reasoned with themselves, saying, |If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

32 If we should say, 'From people'|--they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.

33 They answered and said to Jesus, |We do not know.| Jesus said to them, |Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.|
