Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ²⁵ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear splendid apparel, and live in luxury, are in kings houses. ²⁶ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. ²⁷ This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way be fore thee.
