9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written: 'Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.'
11 Amen I say to you, among those born of women, there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 But from the days of John the Baptist, even until now, the kingdom of heaven has endured violence, and the violent carry it away.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied, even until John.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah, who is to come.
15 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
