Matthew 11
11:1 And it came to pass, when 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of the Messiah, he sent two of his
disciples, 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 11:4 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the
deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 11:7 And as they departed, 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that
wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a
prophet. 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy
face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven
is greater than he. 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take it by force. 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is EliYah, which was for to come. 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in
the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto
you, and ye have not lamented. 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous,
and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her
children. 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done,
because they repented not: 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which
were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in
sackcloth and ashes. 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of
judgment, than for you. 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to
hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it
would have remained until this day. 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the
day of judgment, than for thee. 11:25 At that time 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but
the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son
will reveal him. 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye
shall find rest unto your souls. 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
had made an end of commanding his twelve
disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye
do hear and see:
began to say unto the multitudes concerning John,
What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Master of
heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes.
