We also have the prophetic word strongly confirmed, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

As these men were leaving, 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?What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? See, those who wear soft clothes are in royal palaces.What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

Where, then, is your blessing? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.So then, have I become your enemy because I told you the truth?

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,to give his people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.

But if we say,‘ Of human origin,’ we’re afraid of the crowd, because everyone considers John to be a prophet.”

From that moment many of his disciples turned back and no longer accompanied him.

Then people from Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the vicinity of the Jordan were going out to him,and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them,“ Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?

And the one sown on rocky ground— this is one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.But he has no root and is short-lived. When distress or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away.

He came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.He was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.

because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing he was a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard him he would be very perplexed, and yet he liked to listen to him.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and will never drink wine or beer. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb.He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.And he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the disobedient to the understanding of the righteous, to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.”

So my people come to you in crowds, sit in front of you, and hear your words, but they don’t obey them. Their mouths go on passionately, but their hearts pursue dishonest profit.

I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John, but the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

“ Truly I tell you, among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has appeared, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
