Mark 11:30

New International Reader's Version

Was John’s baptism from heaven? Or did it come from human authority? Tell me!”

See the chapter Copy

Jesus replied, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

They talked to each other about it. They said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

I tell you, Elijah has come. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. They did it just as it is written about him.”

So let me give you some advice. Leave these men alone! Let them go! If their plans and actions only come from people, they will fail.
