Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

if ˱we˲_/may/_say from heaven ˱he˲_/will_be/_saying for_reason why not ˱you_all˲_believed ˱in˲_him

The Jewish leaders are describing a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: [Suppose we say, ‘From heaven.’ Then he will ask, ‘Then why did you not believe him’]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

ἐὰν εἴπωμεν, ἐξ οὐρανοῦ, ἐρεῖ, διὰ τί οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ?

if ˱we˲_/may/_say from heaven ˱he˲_/will_be/_saying for_reason why not ˱you_all˲_believed ˱in˲_him

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

ἐξ οὐρανοῦ
