Luke 7:24-30

24And when the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 were departedG565, he beganG757 to sayG3004 unto the multitudesG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, What wentG1831 ye out into the wildernessG2048 to behold? a reedG2563 shakenG4531 with the windG417? 25But what wentG1831 ye out to seeG3708? a manG444 clothed in soft raiment? BeholdG2400, they that areG1510 gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, areG1510 in kings’ courts. 26But what wentG1831 ye out to seeG3708? a prophetG4396? Yea, I sayG3004 unto you, and much more than a prophetG4396. 27This isG1510 he of whom it isG1510 writtenG1125,

BeholdG2400, I sendG649 my messengerG32 before thy faceG4383,Who shall prepareG2680 thy wayG3598 before thee.

28I sayG3004 unto you, Among them that areG1510 born of womenG1135 there isG1510 noneG3762 greaterG3173 than JohnG2491: yet he that isG1510 but littleG3398 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 isG1510 greaterG3173 than he. 29And all the peopleG2992 when they heardG191, and the publicans, justifiedG1344 GodG2316, being baptizedG907 with the baptismG908 of JohnG2491. 30But the PhariseesG5330 and the lawyersG3544 rejectedG114 for themselves the counselG1012 of GodG2316, being not baptizedG907 of him.
