Luke 7:25-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁵ What kind of man did you really go out to see? Was he someone dressed in fine clothes? People who wear expensive clothes and live in luxury are in the king's palace. ²⁶ What then did you go out to see? Was he a prophet? He certainly was! I tell you that he was more than a prophet. ^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.”
