Matthew 11:14
Matthew 11:14 This is Elijah, who was to come. Malachi predicted that Elijah would come to prepare the way for the Lord. Christ explains that this was fulfilled in John. He was not the literal, but a spiritual Elijah. See Malachi 4:5.
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.
15 aHe who has ears to hear, let him hear!
16 a“But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,
17 and saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not1 dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not lament.’
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not1 dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not lament.’
