Mark 11:31-35

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

But should we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the people, for they all considered John to have been a real prophet.

Answering Jesus, they *said, “We do not know.” And Jesus *said to them, “Neither am I telling you by what authority I do these things.”
