24 When John's messengers had left, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. |What did you go into the desert to see? Tall grass swaying in the wind? 25 Really, what did you go to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Those who wear splendid clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces. 26 Really, what did you go to see? A prophet? Let me tell you that he is far more than a prophet. 27 John is the one about whom Scripture says, 'I am sending my messenger ahead of you to prepare the way in front of you.' 28 I can guarantee that of all the people ever born, no one is greater than John. Yet, the least important person in the kingdom of God is greater than John. Luke 7:24-28, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
