Matthew 11:8

Context
11:8 What 1  did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? 2  Look, those who wear fancy clothes are in the homes of kings! 3 

1 tn Grk “But what.” Here ἀλλά (alla, a strong contrastive in Greek) produces a somewhat awkward sense in English, and has not been translated. The same situation occurs at the beginning of v. 9.

2 sn The reference to fancy clothes makes the point that John was not rich or powerful, in that he did not come from the wealthy classes.

3 tn Or “palaces.”
