Luke 7:26-30
-
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
-
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
-
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
-
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
-
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
