Luke 7:28


← Luke 7:27 [words of Jesus] Luke 7:28 (KJV) [words of Jesus] Luke 7:29 →
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
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.
And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
