Matthew 11:10-19
10ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it 1is writtenG1125, ‘2BeholdG2400, I sendG649 My messengerG32 3ahead 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 4leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is greaterG3173 than he. 125From the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 6suffersG971 violenceG971, and violentG973 menG973 7takeG726 it by forceG726. 13For allG3956 the prophetsG4396 and the LawG3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491. 14And ifG1487 you are willingG2309 to acceptG1209 it, John himselfG846 is 8ElijahG2243 who 9was to comeG2064. 1510He who hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, 11let him hearG191.
16“But to whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 thisG3778 generationG1074? It is likeG3664 childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the marketG58 placesG58, whoG3739 callG4377 out to the otherG2087 children, 17and sayG3004, ‘We playedG832 the fluteG832 for you, and you did not danceG3738; we sangG2354 a dirgeG2354, and you did not 12mournG2875.’ 18For JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 13eatingG2068 norG3383 14drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, ‘15He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 19The SonG5207 of ManG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, ‘BeholdG2400, a gluttonousG5314 manG444 and a 16drunkardG3630, 17a friendG5384 of taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 18sinnersG268!’ YetG2532 wisdomG4678 is vindicatedG1344 by her deedsG2041.”
