those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least
in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29
And all the people that heard
him,
and the publicans,
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected
the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
31
And the Lord said,
Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are
they like?
32
They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and
saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have
not wept.
33

when she knew that
Jesus
sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38
And stood at his feet behind

weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe
them
with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed
them
with the ointment.

he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he
were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman
this is
that toucheth him: for
