Luke 7:26-30 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. ²⁷ This is he of whom it is written, "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who shall prepare Your way before You." ²⁸ For I say to you, Among those who are born of woman there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. ²⁹ And all the people and the tax-collectors who heard Him justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. ³⁰ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized by him.
