Luke 20:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
In context
3 “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
