Matthew:11:7-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And as they departed (
5740 ),
Jesus began (
5662 )
to say (
5721 )
unto the multitudes concerning John ,
What went ye (
5627 )
out into the wilderness to see (
5664 )?
A reed shaken (
5746 )
with the wind ?
*
But what went ye out (
5627 )
for to see (
5629 )?
A man clothed (
5772 )
in soft raiment ?
behold (
5628 ),
they that wear (
5723 )
soft clothing are (
5748 )
in kings houses .
*
But what went ye out (
5627 )
for to see (
5629 )?
A prophet ?
yea ,
I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
and more than a prophet .
*
For this is (
5748 )
he ,
of whom it is written (
5769 ),
Behold (
5628 ),
I send (
5719 )
my messenger before thy face ,
which shall prepare (
5692 )
thy way before thee .
*
Verily I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Among them that are born of women there hath not risen (
5769 )
a greater than John the Baptist :
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is (
5748 )
greater than he .
*
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence (
5743 ),
and the violent take it by force (
5719 ).
