Lucas 20:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:4

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
] This was a new ordinance, and John must have his authority for administering it either from God, or from men; and Christ is desirous to know from which he derived it in their opinion; suggesting, that by the same authority John, his forerunner, came baptizing, he himself came preaching and working miracles; (See Gill on Matthew 21:25).

Lucas 20:4 In-Context

2 y le hablaron, diciéndole: Dinos, ¿con qué autoridad haces estas cosas, o quién te dio esta autoridad?
3 Respondiendo El, les dijo: Yo también os haré una pregunta; decidme:
4 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo o de los hombres?
5 Y ellos discurrían entre sí, diciendo: Si decimos: "Del cielo", El dirá: "¿Por qué no le creísteis?"
6 Pero si decimos: "De los hombres", todo el pueblo nos matará a pedradas, pues están convencidos de que Juan era un profeta.
