Luke 20:7 BBE

⁵  And they said among themselves, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Why did you not have faith in him?

⁶  But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.

⁷  And they made answer that they had no idea where it came from.

⁸  And Jesus said, And I will not make clear to you by what authority I do these things.

⁹  And he gave the people this story: A man made a vine-garden and gave the use of it to some field-workers and went into another country for a long time.
