Matthew 11:1-12

11WhenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 2givingG1299 instructionsG1299 to His twelveG1427 disciplesG3101, He departedG3327 from thereG1564 3to teachG1321 and 4preachG2784 in their citiesG4172.

25NowG1161 when 6JohnG2491, 7whileG1722 imprisonedG1201, heardG191 of the worksG2041 of ChristG5547, he sentG3992 word by his disciplesG3101 3and saidG3004 to Him, “Are You 8the 9ExpectedG2064 One, orG2228 shall we lookG4328 for someoneG2087 elseG2087?” 4JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and reportG518 to JohnG2491 whatG3739 you hearG191 and seeG991: 510the blindG5185 receiveG308 sightG308 and the lameG5560 walkG4043, the lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511 and the deafG2974 hearG191, the deadG3498 are raisedG1453 up, and the 11poorG4434 have the 12gospelG2097 preachedG2097 to them. 6And blessedG3107 is he 13whoG3739 14does not 15takeG4624 offenseG4624 at Me.”

7As theseG3778 men were goingG4198 away, JesusG2424 beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491, “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 out into 16the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 817But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 clothing? ThoseG3588 who wearG5409 softG3120 clothing are in kings’G935 18palacesG3624! 919But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? 20A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I tellG3004 you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 10ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it 21is writtenG1125, ‘22BeholdG2400, I sendG649 My messengerG32 23ahead of You, WhoG3739 will prepareG2680 Your wayG3598 beforeG1715 You.’ 11TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, amongG1722 those bornG1084 of womenG1135 there has not arisenG1453 anyone greaterG3173 than JohnG2491 the BaptistG910! YetG1161 the oneG3739 who is 24leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is greaterG3173 than he. 1225From the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 26suffersG971 violenceG971, and violentG973 menG973 27takeG726 it by forceG726.
