Luke 7:28 In-Context

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

27 This was written about him: 'I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare the way for you.'

28 I tell you, John is greater than any other person ever born, but even the least important person in the kingdom of God is greater than John."

29 (When the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they all agreed that God's teaching was good, because they had been baptized by John.

30 But the Pharisees and experts on the law refused to accept God's plan for themselves; they did not let John baptize them.)
