Matthew 11:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ Then as these men went their way, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: What did you go out in the wilderness (desert) to see? A reed swayed by the wind?

⁸ What did you go out to see then? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the houses of kings.

⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one [^[a]out of the common, more eminent, more remarkable, and] ^[b]superior to a prophet.
