Luke 20:5
Compare all
3 But He answered and said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, and answer Me:
4 The abaptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?”  
5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why1 then did you not believe him?’  
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, afor they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”  
7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

Luke 20:5

They reasoned with themselves (sunelogisanto). First aorist middle of sullogizomai, to bring together accounts, an old word, only here in the N.T. Mark and Matthew have dielogizonto (imperfect middle of dialogizomai, a kindred verb, to reckon between one another, confer). This form (dielogizonto) in verse Luke 20:14 below.

If we shall say (ean eipwmen). Third-class condition with second aorist active subjunctive. Suppose we say! So in verse Luke 20:6.
