The King James Version Bible

Luke 7:24-27

  1. And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

  2. But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.

  3. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.

  4. This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
