How had the Jews gone wrong in their reaction to John’s preaching?

What had they failed to see?

What does Jesus’ estimate of John teach us concerning the greatness of

our privilege? Cf. 10:23, 24.

犹太人对约翰讲的道的反应有何错谬之处？

他们缺少了哪些看见？

有关耶稣对约翰的评价，对于我们所拥有之特权的重大，

v26–28. John, the last and greatest of the prophets of the ‘old covenant’, marks the beginning of a

new and better era, ‘the kingdom of God’.

注：

26-28节。约翰是「旧约」最后、最大的一个先知，他引进了一个更新、更好的时代，
