American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in kings' houses.
But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
This is he of whom it is written, {Malachi 3:1.}Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
{Many ancient authorities read But what went ye out to see? A prophet? }But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
This is he, of whom it is written, {Malachi 3:1}Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
