23 Heureux celui pour qui je ne serai pas une occasion de chute!

24 Lorsque les envoyés de Jean furent partis, Jésus se mit à dire à la foule, au sujet de Jean: Qu’êtes-vous allés voir au désert? Un roseau agité par le vent?

25 Mais, qu’êtes-vous allés voir? Un homme vêtu d’habits précieux? Voici, ceux qui portent des habits magnifiques, et qui vivent dans les délices, sont dans les maisons des rois.

26 Qu’êtes-vous donc allés voir? Un prophète? Oui, vous dis-je, et plus qu’un prophète.

27 C’est celui dont il est écrit: Voici, j’envoie mon messager devant ta face, Pour préparer ton chemin devant toi.
