Luke 20:3

Catholic Public Domain Version

And in response, Jesus said to them: "I will also question you about one word. Respond to me:

See the chapter Copy

and they spoke to him, saying: "Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or, who is it that has given you this authority?"

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?"

And if I also question you, you will not answer me. Neither will you release me.

Let your speech be ever graceful, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to respond to each person.
