24 When the messengers of John were departed, he address'd himself to the people, and said with relation to John, what did you go to see in the desart? a reed shaken with the wind? 25 or did you go to see a man richly apparelled? for magnificent dress and splendid living, you must look into the courts of princes. 26 what then did you go to see? a prophet? yes, I say it, and more than a prophet. 27 he it is, of whom it is written, "behold, I send my messenger before you, who shall prepare the way for you." 28 I declare unto you, among the whole race of mankind, there is not a prophet, who is superiour to John the Baptist: yet he that is most inferiour in the kingdom of the Messiah, is greater than he.
