7 As they left, Jesus began to talk to the crowds about John. “What were you expecting to see when you went out into the desert? A reed tossed about by the wind?8 So what did you go to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? People dressed like that live in kings' palaces.9 So what did you go to see then? A prophet? Yes, and I tell you he is much more than a prophet!10 He's the one this Scripture was written about: ‘I'm sending my messenger on ahead of you. He will prepare your way for you.’11 I tell you the truth, that among humanity there's no one greater than John the Baptist, but even the least important in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is.12 From the time of John the Baptist up till now the kingdom of heaven continues to be under attack, and violent people are trying to seize it by force.13 For all the prophets and the law spoke for God until John came.14 If you're prepared to believe it, he is Elijah, the one who was expected to come.15 Anybody with ears should be listening!
