Luke 7:28 in Context — Luke 7

26 Qu’êtes-vous donc allés voir? Un prophète? Oui, vous dis-je, et plus qu’un prophète.

27 C’est celui dont il est écrit: Voici, j’envoie mon messager devant ta face, Pour préparer ton chemin devant toi.

28 Je vous le dis, parmi ceux qui sont nés de femmes, il n’y en a point de plus grand que Jean. Cependant, le plus petit dans le royaume de Dieu est plus grand que lui.

29 Et tout le peuple qui l’a entendu et même les publicains ont justifié Dieu, en se faisant baptiser du baptême de Jean;

30 mais les pharisiens et les docteurs de la loi, en ne se faisant pas baptiser par lui, ont rendu nul à leur égard le dessein de Dieu.
