NASB
""But shall we say, 'From men'?"--they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet."
— Mark 11:32, NASB
“But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.”
“But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet. ”
“If we should say, 'From men'"--they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.”
“But if we say,‘From people–’”(they feared the crowd, for they all considered John to be truly a prophet).”
“If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John that he was a prophet indeed.”
“But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.”
“But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.”
And Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
"Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me."
They began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
"But shall we say, 'From men'?"--they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet.
Answering Jesus, they *said, "We do not know." And Jesus *said to them, "Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things."
