Matthew 11:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible

10 This is what someone wrote about him a long time ago in the Bible. God said:

“Listen! I will send someone to go in front of you.
He will speak my message.
He will prepare a way for you.” ’[a]

11 Jesus then said, ‘I tell you this: John the Baptist is greater than any person who has ever lived until now. But now, anyone who belongs in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John. Even the least important of them is greater than he is.[b] 12 From the time that John the Baptist began to teach until now, the kingdom of heaven is becoming very strong. Strong people are trying very much to attack it.

Footnotes

  1. 11:10 See Malachi 3:1. John the Baptist was a very important man. He brought a message from God. He told all the people that Jesus was coming soon. God had promised that he would send a special person to save them.
  2. 11:11 The people who believed John's message about Jesus now knew God as their king. They are in the kingdom of God. This means that they are very important to God. They are all even more important than John was.
