And when the messengers of Yochanan were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning Yochanan, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of teaching, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
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.
