Matthew 21:25-27 The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him? ²⁶ But if we say, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet. ²⁷ And they answered Jesus and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
