Contextual Overview
1 And it happened on one of those days, as He was teaching the people and proclaiming the gospel in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes came up, along with the elders, 2 and spoke to Him, saying, Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who is it who gave to you this authority? 3 And answering, He said to them, I will also ask you one thing, and you tell me: 4 The baptism of John, was it from Heaven, or from men? 5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From Heaven, He will say, Then why did you not believe him? 6 But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are being convinced that John was a prophet. 7 And they answered, they did not know from where. 8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ver. 7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. Whether from heaven, or of men; in this, no doubt, they told an untruth: but they chose rather to sacrifice their consciences than their interest, and pretend ignorance rather than profess the truth, when they saw they should be put to confusion, or be exposed to the resentments of the people.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 21:23-27.
