Mark 11:30-32

Living Bible

³⁰ What about John the Baptist? Was he sent by God, or not? Answer me!”

³¹ They talked it over among themselves. “If we reply that God sent him, then he will say, ‘All right, why didn’t you accept him?’ ³² But if we say God didn’t send him, then the people will start a riot.” (For the people all believed strongly that John was a prophet.)
