Matthew 11:2-14

2But JohnG2491, having heardG191 in the prisonG1201 the worksG2041 of the ChristG5547, sentG3992 by his disciplesG3101,

3and saidG3004 to him, Art thou the comingG2064 [oneG3588]? or areG1510 we to wait for another?

4And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 to them, GoG4198, reportG518 to JohnG2491 what ye hearG191 and seeG991.

5BlindG5185 [menG5185] seeG308 and lameG5560 walkG4043; lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, and deafG2974 hearG191; and deadG3498 are raisedG1453, and poorG4434 have glad tidings preached to them:

6and blessed isG1510 whosoever shall not beG1510 offendedG4624 in me.

7But as they wentG1831 [awayG1831], JesusG2424 beganG757 to sayG3004 to the crowdsG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, What wentG1831 ye out into the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? a reedG2563 moved about by the windG417?

8But what wentG1831 ye out to seeG3708? a manG444 clothed in delicate raiment? beholdG2400, those who wearG5409 delicate things areG1510 in the houses of kingsG935.

9But what wentG1831 ye out to seeG3708? a prophetG4396? Yea, I sayG3004 to you, and more than a prophetG4396:

10this isG1510 he of whom it isG1510 writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I sendG649 my messengerG32 before thy faceG4383, who shall prepareG2680 thy wayG3598 before thee.

11Verily I sayG3004 to you, that there isG1510 not arisenG1453 among [the] born of womenG1135 a greaterG3173 than JohnG2491 the baptistG910. But he who isG1510 a littleG3398 oneG3588 in the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 greaterG3173 than he.

12But from the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the baptistG910 until nowG1161, the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 is taken by violence, and [the] violent seizeG726 on it.

13For all the prophetsG4396 and the lawG3551 have prophesiedG4395 unto JohnG2491.

14And if ye will receiveG1209 it, this isG1510 Elias, who isG1510 to comeG2064.
