Luke 7:24-28
What went you out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, Who shall prepare your way before you. I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
