Luke 7:28-30
Living Bible
28 In all humanity there is no one greater than John. And yet the least citizen of the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 And all who heard John preach—even the most wicked of them[a]—agreed that God’s requirements were right, and they were baptized by him. 30 All, that is, except the Pharisees and teachers of Moses’ law. They rejected God’s plan for them and refused John’s baptism.
