Matthew 21:25-27

Darby Translation

²⁵ The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?

²⁶ but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.

²⁷ And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. *He* also said to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things.
