3. And he answered and said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and you tell me:
4. The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?
5. And they discussed this with one another, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6. But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7. And they replied that they did not know where it was from.
8. And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
