Lukas 20:5-7

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵ And they reasoned to themselves saying, If we say, from Shomayim, he will say, why did you not believe him?

⁶ But if we say, from Bnei Adam, HaAm (the People) all will subject us to sequilah (stoning), for HaAm Yisroel are all convinced that Yochanan is a navi.

⁷ And they answered that they did not have daas of the origin of the tevilah of teshuva of Yochanan.
