Matthew 11 — Context

7

As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

8

But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses.

9

But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

10

For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'

11

Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

12

From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

13

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
