Luke 7:28 In-Context

26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

27 It is this man about whom it is written: 'Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'

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

29 (And all the people, [when they] heard [this]--even the tax collectors--affirmed the righteousness of God, [because they] had been baptized [with] the baptism of John,

30 but the Pharisees and the legal experts rejected the purpose of God for themselves, [because they] had not been baptized by him.)
