Matthew 21:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 And Jesus answered and[a] said to them, “I also will ask you one question. If you tell the answer[b] to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 From where was the baptism of John—from heaven or from men?” And they began to discuss[c] this[d] among themselves, saying, “If we say ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet.”
