11:11 Positionally greater, not morally. John Baptist was as great, morally, as any man “born of woman,” but as to the kingdom he but announced it at hand. The kingdom did not then come, but was rejected, and John was martyred, and the King presently crucified. The least in the kingdom when it is set up in glory (see “Kingdom (N.T.),” Lk. 1:31–33; 1 Cor. 15:24) will be in the fullness of power and glory. It is not heaven which is in question, but Messiah’s kingdom. (See Mt. 3:2, note; 6:33, note.)
El reino no vino entonces, sino que fue rechazado, y Juan fue martirizado, y el Rey crucificado al momento.
