Luke 7:26

American Standard Version 2015

But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

See the chapter Copy

But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

Yea and thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High:\par\tab For thou shalt go {\b before the Lord to make ready his ways};

He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.

The law and the prophets {\i were} until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.

But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

This is he of whom it is written,\par\tab {\b Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,\par\tab Who shall prepare thy way before thee.}
