Luke 7:27-29
Contemporary English Version

27 (A) In the Scriptures, God calls John his messenger and says, “I am sending my messenger ahead of you to get things ready for you.” 28 No one ever born on this earth is greater than John. But whoever is least important in God's kingdom is greater than John.

29 (B) Everyone had been listening to John. Even the tax collectors[a] had obeyed God and had done what was right by letting John baptize them.
