Luke 20:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ But we do not want to say that only men gave John his authority. Then all the people would throw stones at us to kill us. They are sure that John really was a prophet from God.’ ⁷ So the Jewish leaders answered Jesus, ‘We do not know who gave John his authority.’

⁸ Jesus said to them, ‘You will not answer my question. So I will not tell you what authority I have to do these things.’
