Pero si decimos que era solo de los hombres, tendremos problemas, porque todos creen que Juan era un verdadero profeta.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Gospel of Matthew, this verse occurs during a tense exchange in the temple in Jerusalem, where Jesus is questioned by the chief priests and elders about his authority. They are debating how to respond to Jesus' question about John the Baptist's baptism, fearing the people's strong support for John as a prophet, which could lead to unrest. This reflects the broader conflict between religious leaders and the popular reverence for prophetic figures in first-century Jewish society.
