Lucas 7

24 And when the messengers of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], What went you2f out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

25 But what went you2f out for to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings’ courts.

26 But what went you2f out for to see? A prophet? Yes, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

27 This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before youri face, which shall prepare youri way before youi.

28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God-Theos is greater than he.

29 And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans, justified God-Theos, being baptized with the baptism of Yochanan [Yehovah has graced].

30 But the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and lawyers rejected the counsel of God-Theos against themselves, being not baptized of him.
