Mark 11:30

New Century Version

Tell me: When John baptized people, was that authority from God or just from other people?”

See the chapter Copy

Jesus answered, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you what authority I have to do these things.

They argued about Jesus’ question, saying, “If we answer, ‘John’s baptism was from God,’ Jesus will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

I tell you that Elijah has already come. And people did to him whatever they wanted to do, just as the Scriptures said it would happen.”

And so now I tell you: Stay away from these men, and leave them alone. If their plan comes from human authority, it will fail.
