Matthew 11:9 in Context — Matthew 11
7 Depois que eles se foram, Jesus começou a dizer às multidões acerca de João: Que saístes ao deserto para ver? Uma cana que se move pelo vento?
8 Mas que saístes para ver? Um homem vestido com roupas delicadas? Eis que os que usam roupas delicadas estão nas casas dos reis.
9 Mas que saístes para ver? Um profeta? Sim, eu vos digo, e muito mais que um profeta;
10 Porque este é aquele sobre o qual está escrito: ‘Eis que diante de tua face envio o meu mensageiro, que preparará o teu caminho diante de ti.’
11 Em verdade vos digo que, dentre os nascidos de mulheres, não se levantou [outro] maior que João Batista; porém o menor no Reino dos céus é maior que ele.
