Luke 7:26

A Conservative Version

But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

See the chapter Copy

But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.

And thou, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High. For thou will go ahead, before the face of Lord, to prepare his ways,

That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.

The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good-news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.

But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those in elegant clothing, and existing in luxury, are in kingly places.

This is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
