Luke 20:1-8

Listen to Luke 20:1-8

1 ¹One day, ²as Jesus^[a] was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, ³the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up

2 and said to him, “Tell us ⁴by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority. ”

3 He answered them, “I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,

4 was the baptism of John ⁵from heaven or from man? ”

5 And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven, ’ he will say, ⁶‘Why did you not believe him? ’

6 But if we say, ‘From man, ’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was ⁷a prophet. ”

7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. ”
