Matthew 11:9-15 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰ This is the one of whom it was written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.' ¹¹ I tell you truly there has not arisen among those born of women a greater than John the Baptist. But any inferior 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 suffering violence and violent men have been seizing it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ If you are willing to believe it, he is Elijah who was to come. ¹⁵ Whoever has ears, let him hear.
