24 Jesus answered and said to them, I will also ask you a word, and if you tell me, I will then tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 Whence is the baptism of John? Is it from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say from heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him? 26 And if we should say, from men, we are afraid of the people, for all of them regard John as a prophet. 27 So they answered and said to him, We do not know. Jesus said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. Matthew 21:24-27, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
