Luke 20:6

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.

⁷  And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

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