Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ But as they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. "What was it that you went out into the desert to look at? A reed swaying in the wind? ⁸ Then what did you go out there to see? A man luxuriously dressed? Men who dress in that way you find in the palaces of kings. ⁹ Then why did you go out there? Was it to see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet!
