kjv - Luke:7:24-33

kjv@Luke:7:24 @ And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

kjv@Luke:7:25 @ But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

kjv@Luke:7:26 @ But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

kjv@Luke:7:27 @ This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

kjv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

kjv@Luke:7:29 @ And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

kjv@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

kjv@Luke:7:31 @ And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

kjv@Luke:7:32 @ They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

kjv@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
