For I say G3004 to you, Among G1722 those that are born G1084 of women G1135 there is not a greater G3187 prophet G4396 than John G2491 the Baptist: G910 but he that is least G3398 in the kingdom G932 of God G2316 is greater G3187 than he.

And I will make H6213 of you a great H1419 nation, H1471 and I will bless H1288 you, and make your name H8034 great; H1431 and you shall be a blessing: H1293

And his father H1 refused, H3985 and said, H559 I know H3045 it, my son, H1121 I know H3045 it: he also H1571 shall become H1961 a people, H5971 and he also H1571 shall be great: H1431 but truly H199 his younger H6996 brother H251 shall be greater H1431 than he, and his seed H2233 shall become H1961 a multitude H4393 of nations. H1471

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Joshua, H3091 This H2088 day H3117 will I begin H2490 to magnify H1431 you in the sight H5869 of all H3605 Israel, H3478 that they may know H3045 that, as I was with Moses, H4872 so I will be with you.

On that day H3117 the LORD H3068 magnified H1431 Joshua H3091 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 Israel; H3478 and they feared H3372 him, as they feared H3372 Moses, H4872 all H3605 the days H3117 of his life. H2416

And I have been H1961 with you wherever H3605 H834 you have walked, and have cut H3772 off all H3605 your enemies H341 from before H6440 you, and have made H6213 you a name H8034 like the name H8034 of the great H1419 men that are in the earth. H776

Both riches H6239 and honor H3519 come of you, and you reign H4910 over H4605 all; H3605 and in your hand H3027 is power H3581 and might; H1369 and in your hand H3027 it is to make great, H1431 and to give strength H2388 to all. H3605

But what G5101 went G1831 you out for to see? G1492 A prophet? G4396 yes, G3483 I say G3004 to you, and more G4055 than a prophet. G4396

Truly G281 I say G3004 to you, Among G1722 them that are born G1084 of women G1135 there has not risen G1453 a greater G3187 than John G2491 the Baptist: G910 notwithstanding he that is least G3398 in the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 is greater G3187 than he.

For all G3956 the prophets G4396 and the law G3551 prophesied G4395 until G2193 John. G2491

He that has G2192 ears G3775 to hear, G191 let him hear. G191

And saying, G3004 We have piped G832 to you, and you have not danced; G3738 we have mourned G2354 to you, and you have not lamented. G2875

The Son G5207 of man G444 came G2064 eating G2068 and drinking, G4095 and they say, G3004 Behold G2400 a man G444 gluttonous, G5314 and a drunkard, G3630 a friend G5384 of publicans G5057 and sinners. G268 But wisdom G4678 is justified G1344 of her children. G5043

He was a burning G2545 and a shining G5316 light: G3088 and you were willing G2309 for a season G5610 to rejoice G21 in his light. G5457

For John G2491 the Baptist G910 came G2064 neither G3383 eating G2068 bread G740 nor G3383 drinking G4095 wine; G3631 and you say, G3004 He has G2192 a devil. G1140

Speak H1696 to the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and say H559 to them, When H3588 either H376 man H376 or H176 woman H802 shall separate H6381 themselves to vow H5087 a vow H5088 of a Nazarite, H5139 to separate H5144 themselves to the LORD: H3068

All H3605 the days H3117 of his separation H5145 shall he eat H398 nothing H3808 that is made H6213 of the vine H3196 tree, from the kernels H2785 even to the husk. H2085

Now H6258 therefore beware, H8104 I pray H4994 you, and drink H8354 not wine H3196 nor strong drink, H7941 and eat H398 not any H3605 unclean H2931 thing:

Then the woman H802 came H935 and told H559 her husband, H376 saying, H559 A man H376 of God H430 came H935 to me, and his countenance H4758 was like the countenance H4758 of an angel H4397 of God, H430 very H3966 terrible: H3372 but I asked H7592 him not from where H335 H2088 he was, neither H3808 told H5046 he me his name: H8034

For John G2491 came G2064 neither G3383 eating G2068 nor G3383 drinking, G4095 and they say, G3004 He has G2192 a devil. G1140

The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 shall defend H1598 them; and they shall devour, H398 and subdue H3533 with sling H7050 stones; H68 and they shall drink, H8354 and make a noise H6963 as through wine; H3196 and they shall be filled H4390 like bowls, H4219 and as the corners H2106 of the altar. H4196

And they were all G537 filled G4130 with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and began G756 to speak G2980 with other G2087 tongues, G1100 as the Spirit G4151 gave G1325 them utterance. G669

But Peter, G4074 standing G2476 up with the eleven, G1733 lifted G1869 up his voice, G5456 and said G669 to them, You men G435 of Judaea, G2453 and all G537 you that dwell G2730 at Jerusalem, G2419 be this G5124 known G1110 to you, and listen G1801 to my words: G4487

But this G5124 is that which was spoken G2046 by the prophet G4396 Joel; G2493

And on G1909 my servants G1401 and on G1909 my handmaidens G1399 I will pour G1632 out in those G1565 days G2250 of my Spirit; G4151 and they shall prophesy: G4395

And be not drunk G3182 with wine, G3631 wherein G1722 G3757 is excess; G810 but be filled G4137 with the Spirit; G4151

But you are he that took H1518 me out of the womb: H990 you did make me hope H982 when I was on my mother's H517 breasts. H7699

Before H2962 I formed H3335 you in the belly H990 I knew H3045 you; and before H2962 you came H3318 forth H3318 out of the womb H7358 I sanctified H6942 you, and I ordained H5414 you a prophet H5030 to the nations. H1471

But when G3753 it pleased G2106 God, G2316 who G3588 separated G873 me from my mother's G3384 womb, G2836 and called G2564 me by his grace, G5485
