Matthew 21:24-26

New Life Version

²⁴ Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one thing also. If you tell Me, then I will tell you by what right and power I do these things. ²⁵ Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?” They thought among themselves, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ then He will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ ²⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, because they all think John was one who spoke for God.”
