Luke 7:26
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
In context
24 After John’s messengers had left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind?
25 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear elegant clothing and live in luxury are found in palaces.
26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
27 This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way before You.’
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John, yet even the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
