7 G3778 And these G1161 G4198 having gone, G756 Jesus began G3588 G* G3004 to say G3588 to the G3793 multitudes G4012 concerning G* John, G5100 What G1831 did you come forth G1519 into G3588 the G2048 wilderness G2300 to see? G2563 a reed G5259 [²by G417 ³ the wind G4531 ¹being shaken]?

8 G235 But G5100 what G1831 did you come forth G1492 to behold? G444 a man G1722 [²in G3120 ³soft G2440 ⁴garments G294 ¹being clothed]? G2400 Behold, G3588 the ones G3588 G3120 [²soft garments G5409 ¹wearing G1722 ⁴in G3588 ⁵the G3624 ⁶houses G3588 ⁷of the G933 ⁸palaces G1510.2.6 ³are].

9 G235 But G5100 what G1831 did you come forth G1492 to behold? G4396 A prophet? G3483 Yes, G3004 I say G1473 to you, G2532 and G4053 more extra G4396 of a prophet.

10 G3778 For this G1063 G1510.2.3 it is G4012 concerning G3739 of whom G1125 it has been written, G2400 Behold, G1473 I G649 send G3588 G32 my messenger G1473 G4253 before G4383 your face, G1473 G3739 who G2680 shall carefully prepare G3588 G3598 your way G1473 G1715 before you. G1473

11 G281 Amen G3004 I say G1473 to you, G3756 There has not G1453 been arisen G1722 among G1084 ones born G1135 of women G3173 greater than G* John G3588 the G910 Baptist; G3588 but the G1161 G3397 lesser G1722 in G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 of the G3772 heavens G3173 [²greater than G1473 ³he G1510.2.3 ¹is].

12 G575 And from G1161 G3588 the G2250 days G* of John G3588 the G910 Baptist G2193 until G737 just now G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 of the G3772 heavens G971 is forced, G2532 and G973 [²by assailants G726 ¹is snatched]. G1473

13 G3956 For all G1063 G3588 the G4396 prophets G2532 and G3588 the G3551 law G2193 [²until G* ³John G4395 ¹prophesied].

14 G2532 And G1487 if G2309 you want G1209 to receive, G1473 he G1510.2.3 is G* Elijah, G3588 the one G3195 being about G2064 to come.

7 G1161 And G5130 as G4198 they departed [G5740] G2424 , Jesus G756 began [G5662] G3004 to say [G5721] G3793 unto the multitudes G4012 concerning G2491 John G5101 , What G1831 went ye [G5627] G1519 out into G2048 the wilderness G2300 to see [G5664] G2563 ? A reed G4531 shaken [G5746] G5259 with G417 the wind?

8 G235 But G5101 what G1831 went ye out [G5627] G1492 for to see [G5629] G444 ? A man G294 clothed [G5772] G1722 in G3120 soft G2440 raiment G2400 ? behold [G5628] G5409 , they that wear [G5723] G3120 soft G1526 clothing are [G5748] G1722 in G935 kings G3624 ' houses.

9 G235 But G5101 what G1831 went ye out [G5627] G1492 for to see [G5629] G4396 ? A prophet G3483 ? yea G3004 , I say [G5719] G5213 unto you G2532 , and G4055 more G4396 than a prophet.

10 G1063 For G3778 this G2076 is [G5748] G4012 he, of G3739 whom G1125 it is written [G5769] G2400 , Behold [G5628] G1473 , I G649 send [G5719] G3450 my G32 messenger G4253 before G4675 thy G4383 face G3739 , which G2680 shall prepare [G5692] G4675 thy G3598 way G1715 before G4675 thee.

11 G281 Verily G3004 I say [G5719] G5213 unto you G1722 , Among G1084 them that are born G1135 of women G1453 there hath G3756 not G1453 risen [G5769] G3187 a greater than G2491 John G910 the Baptist G1161 : notwithstanding G3398 he that is least G1722 in G932 the kingdom G3772 of heaven G2076 is [G5748] G3187 greater than G846 he.

12 G1161 And G575 from G2250 the days G2491 of John G910 the Baptist G2193 until G737 now G932 the kingdom G3772 of heaven G971 suffereth violence [G5743] G2532 , and G973 the violent G726 take G846 it G726 by force [G5719] .

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ As they departed, Jesus said to the people, speaking of John, what did ye go to see in the desert? a reed shaken with the wind? ⁸ what did ye go to see? a man dress'd in rich apparel? why, they that are so array'd belong to the court: ⁹ or did you go to see a prophet? yes, and be assured, one superiour to a prophet. ¹⁰ for it is he that is meant in that passage, "behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee." ¹¹ I declare unto you, among the whole race of prophets, there never appear'd a greater than John the Baptist: (notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of the ¹² Messiah is greater than he.) for ever since the appearance of John the Baptist the gospel kingdom is as it were invaded, and people of the most violent passions enter into it with zeal. ¹³ for all the prophets and the law were your guides, till the coming of John. ¹⁴ and if ye will believe me, he is the Elias that was to come.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸ But what went ye out to see?

Yes, verily, and one superior to 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 For I assure you that in the whole human race there hath not risen a greater than John the baptist: though the lest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he: ¹² and from the days of John the baptist to this time, the kingdom of heaven is as it were forced into, and the most pressing seize upon it with eagerness. ¹³ For all the prophets, and the law, did no more than prophesy, till John came: ¹⁴ and, if ye are willing to receive the truth, This is that Elias who was to come.

He will prepare the pathway in front of you.’ ¹¹ It is true when I tell you, among [all] those born of women, no one greater than John the Immerser has come along. Yet the least significant person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² And from the days of John the Immerser the kingdom of heaven is experiencing turmoil, for violent men are [trying to] take control of it [by bringing it into existence] forcibly [i.e., before its appointed time. See Acts 1:6-7]. ¹³ For all of the prophets and the law of Moses prophesied [of this kingdom] up until the time of John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to accept [this truth], this person [i.e., John] fulfills [the prophecy of] the coming of Elijah.

7 G1161 And as G5130 they G4198 departed, G2424 Jesus G756 began G3004 to say G3793 unto the multitudes G4012 concerning G2491 John, G5101 What G1831 went you out G1519 into G2048 the wilderness G2300 to see? G2563 A reed G4531 shaken G5259 with G417 the wind?

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went you out to the wilderness to view? -- A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ 'But what went you out to see? -- A man clothed in soft garments? Lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses. ⁹ 'But what went you out to see? -- A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet, ¹⁰ for this is he of whom it has been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way before you. ¹¹ Verily I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he. ¹² 'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens does suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force, ¹³ for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy, ¹⁴ and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who was about to come;

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ ¶ And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. ⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say unto 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 those that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. ¹² From the days of John the Baptist until now, life is given unto the kingdom of the heavens, and the valiant take hold of it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if ye will receive it, this is that Elijah who was to come.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Now as these men were going, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A 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 garments are in kings' houses. ⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and far more than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he about whom it is written: '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 that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men seize it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, the one who is about to come.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ So as they departed Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see, a reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ But what did you go out to see, a man clothed in soft garments? Actually, those who wear soft material are in kings’ houses. ⁹ But really, what did you go out to see, a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way ahead of you.’ ¹¹ Assuredly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptizer; but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. ¹² But from the days of John the Baptizer until now the kingdom of the heavens is being aggressive and aggressive people are seizing upon it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John, ¹⁴ and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Now with these men going their way, Jesus started saying to the crowds, concerning John, "What did you people go out into the wilderness to gaze (or: gawk) at and watch? A reed being constantly shaken (cause to move to and fro) by a wind? ⁸ "But further, what did you folks go out to see and perceive? A person having been clothed in soft, delicate garments? Think about it! Those normally wearing soft and delicate garments are in the houses that belong to kings. ⁹ "But to the contrary, why did you come out? To see or perceive a prophet? Yes, I now say to you, even exceedingly more than a prophet. ¹⁰ "This person is he concerning whom it has been written, 'Look and consider! I, Myself, am repeatedly sending forth My messenger, as an emissary on a mission – before Your face (or: ahead of Your personal presence) – who will progressively make Your road (or: path) useable by constructing or repairing and preparing it in front of You (or: who will prepare Your way before You).' [Mal. 3:1] ¹¹ "Truly, I am now saying to you folks, among those born of women there has not been raised up a person greater than John the Immerser (the baptizer; the Baptist). Yet the one of lesser importance (or: the least; the smaller) within the reign of the heavens (or: kingdom of the atmospheres) constantly exists being greater than him. ¹² "Now from the days of John the Immerser until right now, the reign of the heavens (or: sovereign rule of the kingdom of the atmospheres) is itself continuously pressing (or: is progressively pressing and forcing itself) forward with urgency, and those urging and pressing forward [toward the goal] are one after another grasping it and then drawing it up [to themselves]. [note: I have rendered biazomai (press and force) as a middle; it can also be rendered as a passive] ¹³ "For you see, all the Prophets and the Law prophesy (showed light ahead of time) until (to the point of time up to; till the time of) John. ¹⁴ "And so, if you now desire and continue purposing to welcome, embrace and accept [it; or: him], he is (or: this very one exists being) Elijah – the one being at the point of being at [his] periodical coming (or: the person now being about to be presently and progressively coming).

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ When these men left, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. »What did you go into the wilderness to find? Did you look for a reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ »What did you expect to see, a man clothed in fancy clothes? Those who wear fancy clothes are in king’s houses. ⁹ »Did you go to see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet! ¹⁰ »This is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare the way for you.’ ¹¹ »I tell you, there is none, born of women, greater then John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² »From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been man’s goal, and men of violence have attempted to take it by force. ¹³ »For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ »If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John. “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ Really, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes? See, those who wear fancy clothes live in kings’ houses. ⁹ Really, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet! ¹⁰ This is the man about whom it is written, ‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’
¹¹ I tell all of you with certainty, among those born of women no one has appeared who is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom from heaven is greater than he.
¹² “From the days of John the Baptist until the present, the kingdom from heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people have been attacking it, ¹³ because the Law and all the Prophets prophesied up to the time of John. ¹⁴ If you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Now as* these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in the houses of kings. ⁹ But why did you go out? To see a prophet?* Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet! ¹⁰ It is this man about whom it is written:
'Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.'* ¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen one greater than John the Baptist. But the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² But from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven is treated violently, and the violent claim* it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John, ¹⁴ and if you are willing to accept it,* he is Elijah, the one who is going to come.

Носящие мягкие одежды находятся в чертогах царских. ⁹ Что же смотреть ходили вы? пророка? Да, говорю вам, и больше пророка. ¹⁰ Ибо он тот, о котором написано: се, Я посылаю Ангела Моего пред лицем Твоим, который приготовит путь Твой пред Тобою. ¹¹ Истинно говорю вам: из рожденных женами не восставал больший Иоанна Крестителя; но меньший в Царстве Небесном больше его. ¹² От дней же Иоанна Крестителя доныне Царство Небесноесилою берется, и употребляющие усилие восхищают его, ¹³ ибо все пророки и закон прорекли до Иоанна. ¹⁴ И если хотите принять, он есть Илия, которому должно придти.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ И когато те си отиваха, Иисус започна да казва на множествата за Йоан: Какво излязохте да видите в пустинята? Тръстика ли, от вятър разлюлявана? ⁸ Но какво излязохте да видите? Човек ли, в меки дрехи облечен? Ето, тези, които носят меки дрехи, са в царските дворци. ⁹ Но какво тогава излязохте да видите? Пророк ли?

Eno, oni što se mekušasto nose po kraljevskim su dvorima. ⁹ Ili što ste izišli? Vidjeti proroka?

Aj, kteříž se měkkým rouchem odívají, v domích královských jsou. ⁹ Aneb co jste vyšli viděti? Proroka-li?

Prophetaako? totisesti sanon minä teille: tämä on jalompi kuin propheta. ¹⁰ Sillä tämä on se, josta kirjoitettu on: katso, minä lähetän enkelini sinun kasvois eteen, joka on valmistava sinun ties sinun etees. ¹¹ Totisesti sanon minä teille: kaikkein niiden seassa, jotka vaimoista syntyneet ovat, ei ole yhtäkään suurempaa kuin Johannes Kastaja tullut; mutta kuitenkin se, joka vähin on taivaan valtakunnassa, on häntä suurempi. ¹² Mutta hamasta Johannes Kastajan päivistä, niin tähän asti, kärsii taivaan valtakunta väkivaltaa, ja väkevät repivät sen itsellensä. ¹³ Sillä kaikki prophetat ja laki ovat Johannekseen asti ennustaneet. ¹⁴ Ja jos te tahdotte ottaa vastaan: hän on se Elias, joka tuleva on.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Kun he olivat menneet, rupesi Jeesus puhumaan kansalle Johanneksesta: "Mitä te lähditte erämaahan katselemaan? Ruokoako, jota tuuli huojuttaa? ⁸ Vai mitä lähditte katsomaan? Ihmistäkö, hienoihin vaatteisiin puettua? Katso, hienopukuiset ovat kuningasten kartanoissa. ⁹ Vai mitä te lähditte? Profeettaako katsomaan? Totisesti, minä sanon teille: hän on enemmän kuin profeetta. ¹⁰ Tämä on se, josta on kirjoitettu: 'Katso, minä lähetän enkelini sinun edelläsi, ja hän on valmistava tiesi sinun eteesi'. ¹¹ Totisesti minä sanon teille: ei ole vaimoista syntyneitten joukosta noussut suurempaa kuin Johannes Kastaja; mutta vähäisin taivasten valtakunnassa on suurempi kuin hän. ¹² Mutta Johannes Kastajan päivistä tähän asti hyökätään taivasten valtakuntaa vastaan, ja hyökkääjät tempaavat sen itselleen. ¹³ Sillä kaikki profeetat ja laki ovat ennustaneet Johannekseen asti; ¹⁴ ja jos tahdotte ottaa vastaan: hän on Elias, joka oli tuleva.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Lè patizan Jan yo al fè wout yo, Jezi pran pale ak foul la sou Jan. Li di yo konsa: Sa nou te al wè nan dezè a? Yon pye wozo van t'ap souke? Non. ⁸ Men, kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon nonm abiye ak bèl rad? Ala, moun ki mete bèl rad, se kay wa a yo jwenn yo. ⁹ Manyè di m' kisa nou te al wè menm? Yon pwofèt?

Li va louvri chemen an devan pou ou. ¹¹ Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Nan tout moun ki fèt sou latè pa gen yonn ki pi konsekan pase Jan Batis. Malgre sa, moun ki pi piti nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, pi konsekan pase l'. ¹² Depi sou tan Jan Batis jouk jòdi a, Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la anba gwo goumen. Se moun ki konn goumen k'ap antre ladan l'. ¹³ Anvan Jan Batis te rive, tout pwofèt yo ansanm ak lalwa Moyiz la te pale sou Peyi Bondye a. ¹⁴ Si nou vle kwè l': Jan Batis se Eli ki te gen pou vini an.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Mikor pedig azok elmentek vala, szólni kezde Jézus a sokaságnak Jánosról: Mit látni mentetek ki a pusztába? Nádszálat-é, a mit a szél hajtogat? ⁸ Hát mit látni mentetek ki? Puha ruhába öltözött embert-é? Ímé a kik puha ruhákat viselnek, a királyok palotáiban vannak. ⁹ Hát mit látni mentetek ki? Prófétát-é? Bizony, mondom néktek, prófétánál is nagyobbat! ¹⁰ Mert õ az, a kirõl meg van írva: Ímé én elküldöm az én követemet a te orczád elõtt, a ki megkészíti elõtted a te útadat. ¹¹ Bizony mondom néktek: az asszonyoktól szülöttek között nem támadott nagyobb Keresztelõ Jánosnál; de a ki legkisebb a mennyeknek országában, nagyobb nálánál. ¹² A Keresztelõ János idejétõl fogva pedig mind mostanig erõszakoskodnak a mennyek országáért, és az erõszakoskodók ragadják el azt. ¹³ Mert a próféták mindnyájan és a törvény Jánosig prófétáltak vala. ¹⁴ És, ha be akarjátok venni, Illés õ, a ki eljövendõ vala.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Sesudah utusan-utusan Yohanes itu pergi, Yesus mulai berbicara kepada orang banyak tentang Yohanes, kata-Nya, "Kalian pergi ke padang gurun untuk melihat apa? Sehelai rumput yang ditiup anginkah? ⁸ Kalian pergi untuk melihat apa? Seorang yang berpakaian baguskah? Orang-orang yang berpakaian begitu tinggal di istana! ⁹ Jadi mengapa kalian pergi ke padang gurun? Untuk melihat seorang nabikah? Benar, malah lebih dari seorang nabi. ¹⁰ Sebab Yohanes itulah yang dimaksudkan dalam ayat Alkitab ini, 'Inilah utusan-Ku, kata Allah, Aku mengutus dia lebih dahulu daripada-Mu supaya ia membuka jalan untuk-Mu.' ¹¹ Ingatlah! Di dunia ini tidak pernah ada orang yang lebih besar daripada Yohanes Pembaptis. Namun demikian, orang yang terkecil di antara umat Allah lebih besar daripada Yohanes. ¹² Sejak Yohanes mengabarkan beritanya sampai pada saat ini, umat Allah ditentang oleh orang-orang yang berusaha menguasainya dengan kekerasan. ¹³ Sampai kedatangan Yohanes, semua hukum Musa dan ajaran nabi-nabi bernubuat tentang hal-hal yang harus terjadi. ¹⁴ Dan kalau kalian mau percaya, Yohanes itulah Elia, yang kedatangannya sudah dinubuatkan.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Ora, come essi se ne andavano, Gesù prese a dire alle turbe intorno a Giovanni: Che andaste voi a veder nel deserto? una canna dimenata dal vento? ⁸ Ma pure, che andaste a vedere? un uomo vestito di vestimenti morbidi? ecco, coloro che portano vestimenti morbidi son nelle case dei re. ⁹ Ma pure, che andaste a vedere? un profeta? sì certo, vi dico, e più che profeta. ¹⁰ Perciocchè costui è quello di cui è scritto: Ecco, io mando il mio angelo davanti alla tua faccia, il quale acconcerà il tuo cammino dinanzi a te. ¹¹ Io vi dico in verità, che fra quelli che son nati di donne, non sorse giammai alcuno maggiore di Giovanni Battista; ma il minimo nel regno de’ cieli è maggior di lui. ¹² Ora, da’ giorni di Giovanni Battista infino ad ora, il regno de’ cieli è sforzato, ed i violenti lo rapiscono. ¹³ Poichè tutti i profeti, e la legge, hanno profetizzato infino a Giovanni. ¹⁴ E se voi lo volete accettare, egli è Elia, che dovea venire.

Ma che andaste a vedere? ⁸ Un uomo avvolto in morbide vesti? Ecco, quelli che portano delle vesti morbide stanno nelle dimore dei re. ⁹ Ma perché andaste? Per vedere un profeta? Sì, vi dico e uno più che profeta. ¹⁰ Egli è colui del quale è scritto: Ecco, io mando il mio messaggero davanti al tuo cospetto, che preparerà la via dinanzi a te. ¹¹ In verità io vi dico, che fra i nati di donna non è sorto alcuno maggiore di Giovanni Battista; però, il minimo nel regno dei cieli è maggiore di lui. ¹² Or dai giorni di Giovanni Battista fino ad ora, il regno de’ cieli è preso a forza ed i violenti se ne impadroniscono. ¹³ Poiché tutti i profeti e la legge hanno profetato fino a Giovanni. ¹⁴ E se lo volete accettare, egli è l’Elia che dovea venire. Chi ha orecchi oda.
