Notes

He is the Elijah who was to come: John fulfills the Old Testament prophecy about the prophet Elijah's return (Matthew 17:10–13; see Malachi 4:5).

This section starts with John the Baptist’s doubt. It ends by honoring his faith and his work (Matthew 11:7–19). The people's rejection of John (11:16–19) hints at their future rejection of Jesus.
