Matthew 21:27 Context
25The baptisme of Iohn, whence was it? from heauen, or of men? and they reasoned with themselues saying, If we shall say, From heauen, hee will say vnto vs, Why did ye not then beleeue him? 26But if we shall say, Of men, we feare the people, for all hold Iohn as a Prophet. 27And they answered Iesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said vnto them, Neither tell I you by what authoritie I doe these things. 28¶ But what thinke you? A certaine man had two sonnes, and he came to the first, and said, Sonne, goe worke to day in my vineyard. 29He answered, & said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
