Luke:7:28-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Among those that are born of women there is (
5748 )
not a greater prophet than John the Baptist :
but he that is least in the kingdom of God is (
5748 )
greater than he .
*
And all the people that heard (
5660 )
him ,
and the publicans ,
justified (
5656 )
God ,
being baptized (
5685 )
with the baptism of John .
*
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected (
5656 )
the counsel of God against themselves ,
being not baptized (
5685 )
of him .
*
And the Lord said (
5627 ),
Whereunto then shall I liken (
5692 )
the men of this generation ?
and to what are they (
5748 )
like ?
*
They are (
5748 )
like unto children sitting (
5740 )
in the marketplace ,
and calling (
5719 ) (
5723 )
one to another ,
and saying (
5719 ) (
5723 ),
We have piped (
5656 )
unto you ,
and ye have not danced (
5662 );
we have mourned (
5656 )
to you ,
and ye have not wept (
5656 ).
*
For John the Baptist came (
5754 )
neither eating (
5723 )
bread nor drinking (
5723 )
wine ;
and ye say (
5719 ),
He hath (
5719 )
a devil .
*
The Son of man is come (
5754 )
eating (
5723 )
and drinking (
5723 );
and ye say (
5719 ),
Behold (
5628 )
a gluttonous man ,
and a winebibber ,
a friend of publicans and sinners !
*
But wisdom is justified (
5681 )
of all her children .
