This is what someone wrote about him a long time ago in the Bible. God said: “Listen! I will send someone to go in front of you. He will speak my message. He will prepare a way for you.” ’ Jesus went on to say, ‘I tell you this. John the Baptist is greater than any person who has ever lived until now. But now, anyone who belongs in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John. Even the least important of them is greater than he is. From the time that John the Baptist began to teach until now, the kingdom of heaven is becoming very strong. Strong people are trying very much to attack it. Matthew 11:10-12
經上記着說：『我要差遣我的使者在你前面預備道路』，所說的就是這個人。 我實在告訴你們，凡婦人所生的，沒有一個興起來大過施洗約翰的；然而天國裏最小的比他還大。 從施洗 約翰 的時候到如今，天國是努力進入的，努力的人就得着了。 馬太福音 11:10-12
