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

7
They answered that they didn`t know where it was from.

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