Answer me.” 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ^g‘Why then did you not believe him?’ 32 But shall we say, ‘From man’?”— ^hthey were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was ⁱa prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
