What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Bede
But they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' He whom you confess had prophecy from heaven bore witness to me, and from him you heard by what authority I do these things.
Bonaventure
Third, as regards the deceitfulness of the Pharisees in evading, it is added: But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say: From heaven, confessing the truth, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? thereby reproaching our unbelief, by which they refused to believe a heavenly man, according to that passage of Matthew 11: "John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a demon."
