[The Jewish leaders] talked it over among themselves. "If we say it was from heaven, he will ask why we didn't believe John. But do we dare say it was merely human?" For they were afraid of what the people would do, because everyone believed that John was a prophet. So they finally replied, "We don't know."
And Jesus responded, "Then I won't tell you by what authority I do these things."
Father, please help me find my answers in Jesus. I confess that my own wisdom is flawed. Without your help, your guidance, and your grace, I would not find your wisdom which the world holds foolish but which gives life. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
