Read Luke 7.24-35. In 7.24-35: The greatest prophet is surpassed. In verses 26-28: John marks the end of the era of the great prophets, fulfilling Malachi's (3.1) prophecy (see Mt 11.14), and anticipating the kingdom of God inaugurated by Jesus (see also 16.16). In verse 31: The people of this generation (see 11.29-32, 50-51; 17.25) are under judgment, including those who thought they were protecting the law of God. In verse 35: God's wisdom is seen to prove who (her children, compare mat 11.19; "her deed") are truly faithful (see 11.49). Comments or Questions..
