Luke 20:6 WEB

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.'

⁷  They answered that they didn't know where it was from.

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