30 “The immersion of Yoḥanan – was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”
31 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He shall say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
32 “But if we say, ‘From men’ ” – they feared the people, for all held that Yoḥanan was a prophet indeed.
33 And answering they said to יהושע, “We do not know.” And יהושע answering, said to them, “Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these.”
