「經上記着說：『我要差遣我的使者在你前面預備道路』，所說的就是這個人。 我告訴你們，凡婦人所生的，沒有一個大過約翰的；然而上帝國裏最小的比他還大。」」
路加福音 7:27-28
「This is what they wrote about him a long time ago in the Bible, when God said: “Listen! I will send someone to go in front of you. He will speak my message. He will prepare a way for you.” ’ Jesus also said to the people, ‘I tell you, John is greater than any person who has ever lived up to now. But now anyone who belongs in the kingdom of God is greater than John, even the least important of them.’」
Luke 7:27-28
