Lk. 7:27
"This is he of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.' "
This is cool. In Lk. 3:4 John the Baptist quotes from Isaiah 40:3 to declare his role: "As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah, the prophet, saying, 'The voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." ' " In Lk. 7:27, Jesus is talking about John and quotes Malachi 3:1, the same prophecy but from the point of view that emphasizes His role. Did these guys know scripture or what?
