Description
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells the crowds: "I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he." The narrator then remarks: And all the people who heard this, including the tax collectors, acknowledged the justice of God, because they had been baptized with John's baptism. But by refusing to be baptized by him, the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves (7:28-30)
