Matthew 11:9-14

New American Standard Bible

^9 [a]But what did you go out to see? ^(A)A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. ¹⁰ This is the one about whom it ^[b]is written:

¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² And ^(C)from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has been treated violently, and violent men take it by force. ¹³ For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is ^(D)Elijah who ^[d]was to come.
