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 e lhe perguntaram: “Com que autoridade estás fazendo estas coisas? Quem te deu esta autoridade?”
3 Ele respondeu: “Eu também farei uma pergunta; digam-me:
4 O batismo de João era do céu, ou dos homens?”
5 Eles discutiam entre si, dizendo: “Se dissermos: Do céu, ele perguntará: ‘Então por que vocês não creram nele?’
6 Mas se dissermos: Dos homens, todo o povo nos apedrejará, porque convencidos estão de que João era um profeta”.
