Matthew Chapter 6, Verse 29
From BibleWiki
29: λεγω δε υμιν οτι ουδε σολομων εν παση τη δοξη αυτου περιεβαλετο ως εν τουτων
29: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these.
29: But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was
arrayed as one of these.
Even Solomon in all his glory, etc. The common dress of eastern kings was purple. But they sometimes wore white robes. See Est 8:15, Dan 7:9. It is to this that Christ refers. Solomon, says he, the richest and most magnificent king of Israel, was not clothed in a robe of so pure a white as the lilly of the valley.
