Luke 7:24-27 And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John––What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ And, the messengers of John having departed, he began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John––What went ye forth into the desert to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken? ²⁵ But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts. ²⁶ But what went ye forth to see? A prophet? Yea! I say unto you,––and abundantly more than a prophet. ²⁷ This, is he concerning whom it is written––Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
