Matthew 11:7-10

Appeal of John’s ministry

7 When John's disciples had gone, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John: “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A stalk blowing in the wind?
8 What did you go out to see? A man dressed up in refined clothes? Look, those who wear refined clothes are in royal palaces.
9 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 He is the one of whom it is written: Look, I'm sending my messenger before you, who will prepare your way before you.
