Luke 7:28-30
Lexham English Bible
28 I tell you, there is no one greater among those born of women than John, but the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. 29 (And all the people, when they[a] heard this[b]—even the tax collectors—affirmed the righteousness of God, because they[c] had been baptized with the baptism of John, 30 but the Pharisees and the legal experts rejected the purpose of God for themselves, because they[d] had not been baptized by him.)
