TSK · Matthew 14:5

What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet!

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe. Although you saw this, you did not later change your minds and believe him.

John’s baptism– was it from heaven or from people? Answer me.”

But if we say,‘From people,’ all the people will stone us, because they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

Then the commander of the temple guard went with the officers and brought the apostles without the use of force(for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).
