Luke 7:25–28

25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? See, those who are splendidly dressed and live in luxury are in royal palaces. 26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet?v Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:

See, I am sending my messenger

ahead of you;

he will prepare your way before you.D,w

28 I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John,E but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
