When John’s messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John:“What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
What did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Look, those who wear soft clothing and live in luxury are in the royal palaces!
What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he is.”
(Now all the people who heard this, even the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice, because they had been baptized with John’s baptism.
However, the Pharisees and the experts in religious law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
