CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ Now, at John's messengers coming away, He begins to be saying to the throngs concerning John, "What do you come out into the wilderness to gaze at? A reed being shaken by the wind? ²⁵ But what do you come out to perceive? A man garbed in soft garments? Lo! those in glorious vesture and inhering in luxury are among the royal. ²⁶ But what have you come out to perceive? A prophet? Yes, I am saying to you, and exceedingly more than a prophet." ²⁷ This is he concerning whom it is written, 'Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.'"
