Luke 7:25
Compare all
23 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”  
24 aWhen the messengers of John had departed, He began to speak to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?  
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed those who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are in kings’ courts.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
27 This is he of whom it is written:
a‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

Luke 7:25

Gorgeously apparelled (en imatismw endocw). In splendid clothing. Here alone in this sense in the N.T.

And live delicately (trufh). From qruptw to break down, to enervate, an old word for luxurious living. See the verb trufaw in James 5:5.

In kings' courts (en toiv basileioiv). Only here in the N.T. Matthew 11:8 has it "in kings' houses." Verses Luke 7:26-27 are precisely alike in Matthew 11:9-10, which see for discussion.
