24 Jesus answered them, |I will also ask you one question. If you answer me then I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 Where did John's baptism come from? From heaven or from people?| They discussed this among themselves, saying, |If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?' 26 But if we say, 'From people,' we fear the crowd, for they all consider John to be a prophet.| 27 So they answered Jesus, |We don't know.| Then he said to them, |Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
