馬太福音 11章14節 到 11章14節 上一筆 下一筆 |
{This is Elijah} (autos estin Eleias). Jesus here endorses John as the promise of Malachi. The people understood Mal 4:1 to mean the return of Elijah in person. This John denied as to himself ( Joh 1:21 ). But Jesus affirms that John is the Elijah of promise who has come already ( Mt 17:12 ). He emphasizes the point: "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." |
