Mark 11:30-32

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ Was John’s baptism from heaven? Or did it come from human authority? Tell me!”

³¹ They talked to each other about it. They said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ ³² But what if we say, ‘From human authority’?” They were afraid of the people. Everyone believed that John really was a prophet.
