Luke 7:24-27 King James Version (KJV)
24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
25 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.
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Luke 7:24-27 Revised Standard Version (RSV)
24 When the messengers of John had gone, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind? 25 What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings’ courts. 26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,
‘Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
who shall prepare thy way before thee.’

24 These messengers were the followers of John. They hadn’t started following after Jesus even though John was now in prison. Some people can see the truth right in front of them and still not accept the truth.
25 Jesus addresses why they went to see John, people may have followed him for the reasons but most followed him because of the words he shared.
26 John was a prophet to make the people ready for Jesus. John was the message before Christ. We today as Christians are to do the work of John because we should make people ready for Jesus to return.
