તો તમે શું જોવા નીકળ્યા? શું પ્રબોધકને? હું તમને કહું છું કે, હા, પ્રબોધક કરતાં જે ઘણાં અધિક છે તેને.

तो फिर क्यों गए थे? क्या किसी भविष्यद्वक्ता को देखने को? हाँ, मैं तुम से कहता हूँ, वरन् भविष्यद्वक्ता से भी बड़े को।

In context

7As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

8But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

9But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

10For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

11Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
