12 From the days of Yochanan the Immerser until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For all the Prophets and the Torah prophesied until Yochanan.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
18 For Yochanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
