Matthew 11:9 in Context — Matthew 11
7 Comme ils s’en allaient, Jésus se mit à dire à la foule, au sujet de Jean: Qu’êtes-vous allés voir au désert? Un roseau agité par le vent?
8 Mais, qu’êtes-vous allés voir? Un homme vêtu d’habits précieux? Voici, ceux qui portent des habits précieux sont dans les maisons des rois.
9 Qu’êtes-vous donc allés voir? Un prophète? Oui, vous dis-je, et plus qu’un prophète.
10 Car c’est celui dont il est écrit: Voici, j’envoie mon messager devant ta face, Pour préparer ton chemin devant toi.
11 Je vous le dis en vérité, parmi ceux qui sont nés de femmes, il n’en a point paru de plus grand que Jean-Baptiste. Cependant, le plus petit dans le royaume des cieux est plus grand que lui.
