“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.”
If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces — a man in fine clothes in the wilderness would be absurd — fine clothes belong in palaces. John's camel hair and leather belt are not fashion choices but prophetic uniform. Those who wear expensive clothes are in palaces — Herod Antipas, who has imprisoned John, belongs to that category.
