TSK · Matthew 21:25

The Ministry of John the Baptist In those days John the Baptist came into the wilderness of Judea proclaiming,

And I tell you that Elijah has already come. Yet they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”

The Authority of Jesus They came again to Jerusalem. While Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the experts in the law, and the elders came up to him

Zechariah’s Praise and Prediction Then his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied,

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

So they discussed it with one another, saying,“If we say,‘From heaven,’ he will say,‘Why did you not believe him?’

John testified about him and shouted out,“This one was the one about whom I said,‘He who comes after me is greater than I am, because he existed before me.’”

The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

Jesus replied,“I told you and you do not believe. The deeds I do in my Father’s name testify about me.

that if our conscience condemns us, that God is greater than our conscience and knows all things.
