Mark 11:31-33 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

31. They began to argue among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him? ’

32. But if we say, ‘From men’ ” — they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet.

33. So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
