Matthew 21:25-27

Modern English Version

²⁵ Where did the baptism of John come from? From heaven or from men?”

They reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ ²⁶ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for all hold John as a prophet.”

²⁷ So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.”

Then He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
