Matthew 11:7-12

Wesley(i) 7 Jesus said to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they that wear soft clothing, are in king's houses. 9 But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it is written, Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; but he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is entered by force, and they which strive with all their might take it by violence.
