Matthew 21:26 ASV

²⁴  And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁵  The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?

²⁶  But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.

²⁷  And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

²⁸  But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard.
