Matthew 11:12
Douay-Rheims
And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away.
Gregory the Great
(Hom. in Ev. xx. 14.) By the kingdom of heaven is meant the heavenly throne, whither when sinners defiled with any evil deed return in penitence, and amend themselves, they enter as sinners into the place of another, and take by violence the kingdom of heaven.
