Or who is he that gave to You this authority?" 3And He answering said to them, "I will question you—I also—one thing, and tell Me:4the immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or from men?" 5And they reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we may say, From Heaven, He will say, Why, then, did you not believe him? 6And if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet." 7And they answered that they did not know from where [it was], 8and Jesus said to them, "Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things."
