Matthew 11:7-15

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-7.htm" >7</a>And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-8.htm" >8</a>But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-9.htm" >9</a>But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-10.htm" >10</a>For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-11.htm" >11</a>Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

<a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-12.htm" >12</a>And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-13.htm" >13</a>For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-14.htm" >14</a>And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. <a href="http://bible.cc/matthew/11-15.htm" >15</a>He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
