Matthew 21:24-26
International Standard Version
24 Jesus answered them, “I, too, will ask you one question.[a] If you answer it for me, I will also tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 Where did John’s authority to baptize[b] come from? From heaven or from humans?”
They began discussing this among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘From humans,’ we are afraid of the crowd, because everyone regards John as a prophet.”
