Luke 7:27-29
EasyEnglish Bible

27 This is what they wrote about him a long time ago in the Bible, when God said:

“Listen! I will send someone to go in front of you.
He will speak my message.
He will prepare a way for you.” ’[a]

28 Jesus also said to the people, ‘I tell you, John is greater than any person who has ever lived up to now. But now anyone who belongs in the kingdom of God is greater than John, even the least important of them.’[b]

29 Many people heard what Jesus said. Even the men who took taxes from people agreed with his message. They had gone to John to baptize them. They all said, ‘What God says about us is right.’

Footnotes

  1. 7:27 We can read this in Malachi 3:1. God was speaking about Jesus the Messiah and about John the Baptist. God had promised that the Messiah would come to earth. He had promised that John would arrive first.
  2. 7:28 John came to tell people that Jesus is the Messiah. God promised many times in the Old Testament to send the Messiah. Those that believe his message now know God as their king. They are part of the family of God. John did not know God like that. That is why Jesus said this.
