Luke 20:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?

⁵ And they argued and discussed [it] and reasoned together ^[a]with themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven, He will say, Why then did you not believe him?

⁶ But if we answer, From men, all the people will stone us ^[b]to death, for they are ^[c]long since firmly convinced that John was a prophet.
