[B-Greek] Does Matthew 11:12 contain a nonliteral idiom?

Greetings.

Matthew 11:12 reads, in part:
H BASILEIA TWV OURANWN BIAZETAI KAI BIASAI ARPAZOUSIN AUTHN
which has been variously interpreted as well as translated.

I'm shooting in the dark here, but . . . 
would anybody know if that sentence includes an idiomatic expression (whether in Greek or Aramaic) which meant something to the original readers, other than the literal words would suggest to us foreigners?  It's a wild shot, but it's worth a try.

I looked for this topic on the archives and failed to find it.  If it's already been dealt with, please direct me to the appropriate posts.

Thank you,

Ted Shoemaker
