Matthew 11:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 11:7

5 ^aThe blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and ^bthe poor have the gospel preached to them.

6 And blessed is he who is not ^aoffended because of Me.”

7 ^aAs they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? ^bA reed shaken by the wind?

8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, ^aand more than a prophet.

10 For this is he of whom it is written:
^a‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.’

11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12 ^aAnd from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

13 ^aFor all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
