24 And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken by the wind? 25 But what went you out into the wilderness to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold those who are in gaudy apparel and luxury, are in royal palaces. 26 But what went you out to see? a prophet? Yea, and I say unto you even more than a prophet. 27 This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee. 28 I say unto you, among those having been born of women no prophet is greater than John the Baptist; nevertheless the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
