Matthew 11:7-15

7As theseG3778 men were goingG4198 away, JesusG2424 beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491, “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 out into 1the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 82But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 clothing? ThoseG3588 who wearG5409 softG3120 clothing are in kings’G935 3palacesG3624! 94But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? 5A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I tellG3004 you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 10ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it 6is writtenG1125, ‘7BeholdG2400, I sendG649 My messengerG32 8ahead 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 9leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is greaterG3173 than he. 1210From the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 11suffersG971 violenceG971, and violentG973 menG973 12takeG726 it by forceG726. 13For allG3956 the prophetsG4396 and the LawG3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491. 14And ifG1487 you are willingG2309 to acceptG1209 it, John himselfG846 is 13ElijahG2243 who 14was to comeG2064. 1515He who hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, 16let him hearG191.
