³⁰The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”↗

³¹They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’↗

³³They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them,“Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”↗
