24 When John’s disciples had gone, Jesus began to speak to the people concerning John, What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed which is shaken by the wind? 25 If not so, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Behold, those who wear fine clothes and live delicately are in kings’ houses. 26 And if not so, 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 your face, to prepare the way before you. 28 I say to you that there is no prophet among those who are born of women, who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet even the least person in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
