The King James Version Bible

Matthew 21:24-26

  1. And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

  2. The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?

  3. But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
