4. The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6. But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7. And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8. And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
