瑪竇福音11:11-15
我實在告訴你們：在婦女所生者中，沒有興起一位比洗者若翰更大的；
但在天國裡最小的，也比他大。
由洗者若翰的日子直到如今，天國是以猛力奪取的，
以猛力奪取的人，就攫取了它，
因為眾先知和法律講說預言，直到若翰為止。
若是你們願意接受，他就是那位要來的厄里亞。有耳的，聽罷！
11 'In truth I tell you, of all the children born to women, there has never
been anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the kingdom of
Heaven is greater than he.
12 Since John the Baptist came, up to this present time, the kingdom of
Heaven has been subjected to violence and the violent are taking it by storm.
13 Because it was towards John that all the prophecies of the prophets and of
the Law were leading;
14 and he, if you will believe me, is the Elijah who was to return.
15 Anyone who has ears should listen!
