Matthew 11:7-19

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.

15He that has earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

16But to whom shall I liken this generationG1074? It isG1510 like childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the markets, which, calling to their companions,

17sayG3004, We have piped to you, and ye have not dancedG3738: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.

18For JohnG2491 has comeG2064 neither eatingG2068 nor drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, He has a demonG1140.

19The SonG5207 of manG444 has comeG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, BeholdG2400, a manG444 [that is] eatingG2068 and wine-drinking, a friendG5384 of tax-gatherers, and of sinnersG268: — and wisdomG4678 has been justifiedG1344 by her children.
