The ancient Greek word
"καλάμη" ≈ "reed, staff, rod" and is related to "
canons" and "
cannons" and "
canyons". A similar Greek word refereed to a stylus on pen used for writing.
The ancient Greek word
"σαλεύω" ≈ "shake up, agitate" as in "
ocean waves". John was doing his share of "
agitation" but was otherwise "
unshaken" by what was happening in the culture.

10. Matthew 11:7
KJV: And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Greek: τουτων δε πορευομενων ηρξατο ο ιησους λεγειν τοις οχλοις περι ιωαννου τι εξηλθετε εξηλθατε εις την ερημον θεασασθαι καλαμον υπο ανεμου σαλευομενον
11. Matthew
Matthew 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. [kjv]
αλλα τι εξηλθατε ιδειν ανθρωπον εν μαλακοις ημφιεσμενον ιδου οι τα μαλακα φορουντες εν τοις οικοις των βασιλεων [gnt]
From the Cambridge Greek Lexicon (volume 2), the ancient Greek word
"μαλακία" ≈ "softness, effeminacy, unmanliness, feebleness, faint-hardheartedness". Only in the
GNT (Greek New Testament) is the meaning
"infirmity" or
"sickness".
The ancient Greek word
"μαλακός" ≈ "soft, tender, gentle, mild". Of persons, in a bad sense, it means
"faint-hearted",
"effeminate",
"cowardly",
"incapable of bearing pain". It can mean
"effeminate" and, for sexual partners, the "
passive" or "
receptive" side of such a relationship.
12. More
Matthew 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. [kjv]
αλλα τι εξηλθατε προφητην ιδειν ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου [gnt]
What does it mean to be "
more" than a "
prophet"?
13. Matthew and Malachi
Matthew 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. [kjv]
ουτος εστιν περι ου γεγραπται ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου [gnt]
Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. [kjv]
ιδου εγω εξαποστελλω τον αγγελον μου και επιβλεψεται οδον προ προσωπου μου και εξαιφνης ηξει εις τον ναον εαυτου κυριος ον υμεις ζητειτε και ο αγγελος της διαθηκης ον υμεις θελετε ιδου ερχεται λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ [lxx]
Matthew quotes Jesus from the
LXX (Septuagint) but does not use the same word for "
prepare" as in Malachi 3:1. This is a hint that that word may have special significance.
