Jesus Comments on John^(A)

²⁴ When John’s ·followers [^Lmessengers] left, Jesus began talking to the ·people [crowds] about John: “What did you go out into the ·desert [wilderness] to see? A reed ·blown by [shaken by; swaying in] the wind [^Csomething fragile and easily swept away]? ²⁵ [^LBut] What did you go out to see? A man dressed in ·fine [expensive; ^Lsoft] clothes? No, people who have ·fine [glorious; splendid] clothes and much ·wealth [luxury] ·live [are] in ·kings’ palaces [royal courts].
