Tatian, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IX, The Diatessaron of Tatian… (1885)
“ Verily I say unto you, There hath not arisen among those whom women have borne a greater than John the Baptist; but he that is little now in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. [2] [Arabic, p. 54] [2] And all the people which heard, and the publicans, justified [3] God, for [3] they had been baptized with the baptism of John. [4] But the Pharisees and the scribes wronged [5] the purpose of God in themselves, in that they were not baptized of [4] him. [6] And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven is [5] snatched away by violence. ”
