But if we say ‘from men’ all the people will stone us to death because they are convinced John was a prophet.
Luke 20:6
The Jewish leaders had no problem with ignoring the beliefs of the people. But they definitely didn’t want to rock the boat. They were not wrong in their estimation of the popularity of John.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your mercy and help in times of difficulty. You know what is best for us and You can lead us in the best ways. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
