29. Yeshua said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30. The immersion of Yochanan—was it from heaven, or from men? 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 men’”—they feared the people, for all held Yochanan to really be a prophet.
33. They answered Yeshua, “We don’t know.”Yeshua said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
