MATTHEW 11:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.”
This is he of whom it is written: behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. The fulfillment citation from Malachi 3:1 (combined with Exodus 23:20) identifies John as the messenger who prepares the way — the Lord's forerunner. The your face and your way address Jesus directly in the citation: God speaks to the Messiah about John. John is the one promised to come before the Lord to prepare his way, and the Lord has now come.
