Exegesis
The verb eipōmen {εἴπωμεν | eí-pō-men} in the aorist subjunctive first person plural expresses the potential speech act, quoted in the phrase ex anthrōpōn {Ἐξ ἀνθρώπων | ex an-thrṓ-pōn} “from men,” which focuses the issue on the supposed human source of John’s authority.
In context — Luke 20:6
But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John is a prophet .
