Luke 20:4

²  And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

³  And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

⁴  The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

⁵  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

⁶  But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
