Luke 7:28-30

J.B. Phillips New Testament

²⁸ Believe me, no one greater than John has ever been born, and yet a humble member of the kingdom of God is greater than he.

^29-30 “All the people, yes, even the tax-collectors, when they heard John, acknowledged God and were baptised by his baptism. But the Pharisees and the experts in the Law frustrated God’s purpose for them, for they refused John’s baptism.
