7. Now as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8. But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the houses of kings.
9. But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!
10. It is this man about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
