7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king`s houses.

10 For this is he, of whom it is written, `Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.`
