Mark 11:30-33 ▼

31 And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’

32 But if we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the crowd, for everyone was regarding John to have been a real prophet.

33 And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
