Matthew 11:9 in Context — Matthew 11

7 E idos ellos, comenzó Jesús á decir de Juan á las gentes: ¿Qué salisteis á ver al desierto? ¿una caña que es meneada del viento?

8 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un hombre cubierto de delicados [vestidos]? He aquí, los que traen [vestidos] delicados, en las casas de los reyes están.

9 Mas ¿qué salisteis á ver? ¿un profeta? También os digo, y más que profeta.

10 Porque éste es de quien está escrito: He aquí, yo envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz, que aparejará tu camino delante de ti.

11 De cierto os digo, [que] no se levantó entre los que nacen de mujeres otro mayor que Juan el Bautista; mas el que es muy más pequeño en el reino de los cielos, mayor es que él.
