Matthew 21:26-28
New Matthew Bible
26 But if we say it was of men, then we fear the people. (For everyone held John to be a prophet.)

And he likewise said to them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. 28 What do you say to this: A certain man had two sons, and went to the elder and said, Son, go and work today in my vineyard.
