Luke 7:26

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

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

See the chapter Copy

But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:

He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.

But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings.

This is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
