26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

26 But if we say it was merely human, we’ll be mobbed because the people believe John was a prophet.”

26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all count John as a prophet.”

26 But if we say, ‘It was from people,’ we are afraid of what the crowd will do because they all believe that John was a prophet.”

26 But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.

26 but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.

26 But if we say, ‘from humans,’ we’re afraid of what the crowd might do. All those people think of John as a prophet.”

26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we’re afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought John was a prophet.”

26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin,’ we are afraid of the crowd; for all regard John as a prophet.”

26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the crowd, because they all look upon John as a prophet.”

26 But what if we say, ‘From men’? We are afraid of the people. Everyone believes that John was a prophet.”

26 “But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the people; for they all regard John as a prophet.”
