9   But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
αλλα τι εξηλθετε ιδειν προφητην ναι λεγω υμιν και περισσοτερον προφητου

10   For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
ουτος γαρ εστιν περι ου γεγραπται ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου

11   Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
αμην λεγω υμιν ουκ εγηγερται εν γεννητοις γυναικων μειζων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου ο δε μικροτερος εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων μειζων αυτου εστιν

12   And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
απο δε των ημερων ιωαννου του βαπτιστου εως αρτι η βασιλεια των ουρανων βιαζεται και βιασται αρπαζουσιν αυτην

13   For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
παντες γαρ οι προφηται και ο νομος εως ιωαννου προεφητευσαν

14   And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
και ει θελετε δεξασθαι αυτος εστιν ηλιας ο μελλων ερχεσθαι

15   He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
ο εχων ωτα ακουειν ακουετω

16   But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
τινι δε ομοιωσω την γενεαν ταυτην ομοια εστιν παιδαριοις εν αγοραις καθημενοις και προσφωνουσιν τοις εταιροις αυτων

17   And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
και λεγουσιν ηυλησαμεν υμιν και ουκ ωρχησασθε εθρηνησαμεν υμιν και ουκ εκοψασθε
