24 But when the disciples of Juchanon were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the people concerning Juchanon: What went you forth into the wilderness to see? a reed from the wind shaken?
25 If not, what went you forth to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they who are clothed in bright vestments, and are (living) in pleasures, are in the house of kings.
26 If not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet:
27 he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send mine angel before thy face, Who shall prepare the way before thee.
28 I tell you, that no prophet among those born of women (hath been) greater than Juchanon the Baptizer. Yet the least in the kingdom of Aloha is greater than he.
29 (And all the people that heard him, and the tribute-gatherers also, justified Aloha, because they were baptized with the baptism of Juchanon.
30 But the Pharishee and Sophree rejected against themselves the will of Aloha, because they were not baptized of him.)
