Mark 11:31-33

Living Bible

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.)

³³ So they said, “We can’t answer. We don’t know.”

To which Jesus replied, “Then I won’t answer your question either!”
