Luc 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).

Luc 20:4 In-Context

2 Lui parlèrent et lui dirent: Dis-nous par quelle autorité tu fais ces choses, et qui est celui qui t'a donné cette autorité?
3 Il répondit et leur dit: Je vous demanderai aussi une chose; dites-la-moi:
4 Le baptême de Jean venait-il du ciel ou des hommes?
5 Or, ils raisonnaient ainsi en eux-mêmes: Si nous disons: Du ciel, il dira: Pourquoi donc n'y avez-vous pas cru?
6 Et si nous disons: Des hommes, tout le peuple nous lapidera; car il est persuadé que Jean est un prophète.
