Lucas 7:25

25 Mas, ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un hombre vestido con ropas finas? Mirad, los que visten con esplendor y viven en deleites están en los palacios de los reyes.

Lucas 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 7:25

But what went you out for to see?
&c.] If not his air and action, what was it? was it his apparel and dress? was it to see

a man clothed in soft raiment?
If this was the case, their labour was in vain, and they had their walk for nothing; for John was clothed with camels' hair, rough and undressed, and was girt with a leathern girdle; there was nothing in his person, mien, and garb, that was attractive:

they which are gorgeously, apparelled;
or richly clothed, as John was not:

and live delicately;
in the most elegant manner, and on the richest dainties, as John did not, his food being locusts and wild honey:

are in kings' courts;
and not in a wilderness, where John; came preaching.

Lucas 7:25 In-Context

23 Y bienaventurado es el que no se escandaliza de mí.

24 Cuando los mensajeros de Juan se fueron, Jesús comenzó a hablar a las multitudes acerca de Juan: ¿Qué salisteis a ver en el desierto? ¿Una caña sacudida por el viento?

25 Mas, ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un hombre vestido con ropas finas? Mirad, los que visten con esplendor y viven en deleites están en los palacios de los reyes.

26 Pero, ¿qué salisteis a ver? ¿Un profeta? Sí, os digo, y uno que es más que un profeta.

27 Este es aquel de quien está escrito: "HE AQUI, YO ENVIO MI MENSAJERO DELANTE DE TU FAZ, QUIEN PREPARARA TU CAMINO DELANTE DE TI."
