Commentary on Matthew 11:8

Theological / Devotional

Soft raiment. The wilderness would be a most unlikely place to find a man thus clothed. The motive of the throngs who went out to John was not one of seeing the latest styles and finest textured clothing, nor yet the hope that he might provide such clothing for those who became his followers. The hope of material gain did not influence men to respond to the magnetic power of the desert prophet.
