Luke 20:7 WBT

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

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

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

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

⁹  Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
