Matthew 11:12-13

11:12 From ¹  the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and forceful people lay hold of it. ²  11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John appeared. ³ 

[11:12]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[11:12]  ² tn Or “the kingdom of heaven is forcibly entered and violent people take hold of it.” For a somewhat different interpretation of this passage, see the note on the phrase “urged to enter in” in Luke 16:16.

[11:13]  ³ tn The word “appeared” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
