Luke 20:7 DBY

⁵  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?

⁶  but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

⁷  And they answered, they did not know whence.

⁸  And Jesus said to them, Neither do *I* tell you by what authority I do these things.

⁹  And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country for a long time.
