Marc 11:32

Listen to Marc 11:32
32 Et si nous disons: Des hommes; nous craignons le peuple; car tous croyaient que Jean était un vrai prophète.

Marc 11:32 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:32

But if we shall say, of men
That John's baptism was an human invention, and he had no authority from God to preach and administer it,

they feared the people;
lest being enraged thereby they should, at once, rise up, and destroy them:

for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed;
a real prophet, one truly sent from God, and had his commission and credentials from him: this was the general sentiment of the people; (See Gill on Matthew 21:26).

Marc 11:32 In-Context

30 Le baptême de Jean venait-il du ciel, ou des hommes? Répondez-moi.
31 Or, ils raisonnaient en eux-mêmes, disant: Si nous disons: Du ciel; il dira: Pourquoi donc n'y avez-vous pas cru
32 Et si nous disons: Des hommes; nous craignons le peuple; car tous croyaient que Jean était un vrai prophète.
33 Alors ils répondirent à Jésus: Nous n'en savons rien. Et Jésus leur répondit: Et moi, je ne vous dirai pas non plus par quelle autorité je fais ces choses.
