Luke 20:4 WEB

²  They asked him, 'Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?'

³  He answered them, 'I also will ask you one question. Tell me:

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

⁵  They reasoned with themselves, saying, 'If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why didn't you believe him?'

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