“And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?”
They discussed it among themselves and said, if we say, from heaven, he will ask, why didn't you believe him? — the Sanhedrin's internal deliberation reveals the trap they've fallen into: if from heaven, they must explain their rejection of John. If from humans, they face the crowd that held John to be a prophet.
