Jesus and John the Baptist
Day:219/August7 kjv@Luke:7:18-35
kjv@Luke:7:18
@ And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. kjv@Luke:7:19
@ And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? kjv@Luke:7:20
@ When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? kjv@Luke:7:21
@ And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. kjv@Luke:7:22
@ Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. kjv@Luke:7:23
@ And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 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. kjv@Luke:7:34
@ The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! kjv@Luke:7:35
@ But wisdom is justified of all her children.
