Bible in Basic English 1965

But why did you go out? to see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.

And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;

But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.
