‏ Luke 7:25

 Gorgeously apparelled ( εν ιματισμω ενδοξω ). In splendid clothing. Here alone in this sense in the N.T.

 And live delicately ( τρυφη ). From  θρυπτω to break down, to enervate, an old word for luxurious living. See the verb  τρυφαω in Jas 5:5.

 In kings' courts ( εν τοις βασιλειοις ). Only here in the N.T. Mt 11:8 has it "in kings' houses." Verses 26, 27 are precisely alike in Mt 11:9, 10, which see for discussion.
