Mark 11:31-33

New International Reader's Version

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.

³³ So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”

Jesus said, “Then I won’t tell you by what authority I am doing these things either.”
