Parallel
Luke 7:30
Robinson-Pierpont Byzantine Textform · Berean Standard Bible
οἱ δὲ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ νομικοὶ τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἠθέτησαν εἰς ἑαυτούς, μὴ βαπτισθέντες ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ.
But the Pharisees and experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.
