Matthew 11:9-14

English Standard Version

⁹ What then did you go out to see? ^(A)A prophet?^[a] Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰ This is he of whom it is written,

¹¹ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ^12 (C)From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,^[b] and the violent take it by force. ^13 (D)For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, ¹⁴ and if you are willing to accept it, he is ^(E)Elijah who is to come.
