Luke 7:28 DBY

²⁶  But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say to you, and [what is] more excellent than a prophet.

²⁷  This is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;

²⁸  for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater [prophet] is no one than John [the baptist]; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

²⁹  (And all the people who heard [it], and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;

³⁰  but the Pharisees and the lawyers rendered null as to themselves the counsel of God, not having been baptised by him.)
