Chapter 11

1


 

  And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,  

 

 

-

3


 

  And said to him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?  

 

 

-

4


 

  Jesus answered and said to them, Go and show John again those things which ye hear and see:  

 

 

-

5


 

  The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.  

 

 

-

6


 

  And blessed is he to whom I shall not be the cause of his falling into sin.  

 

 

-

7


 

  And as they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the wind?  

 

 

-

8


 

  But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.  

 

 

-

9


 

  But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.  

 

 

-

10


 

  For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Verily, I say to 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.  

 

 

-

12


 

  And from the days of John the Baptist, until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.  

 

 

-

13


 

  For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.  

 

 

-

14


 

  And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah who was to come.  

 

 

-

15


 

  He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.  

 

 

-

16


 

  But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows,  

 

 

-

17


 

  And saying, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced; We have mourned to you, and ye have not lamented.  

 

 

-

18


 

  For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.  

 

 

-

19


 

  The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man gluttonous, and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they repented not.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.  

 

 

-

22


 

  But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.  

 

 

-

23


 

  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to 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.  

 

 

-

24


 

  But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee.  

 

 

-

25


 

  At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.  

 

 

-

27


 

  All things are delivered to me by 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.  

 

 

-

28


 

  Come to me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  

 

 

-

29


 

  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me: for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.  

 

 

-

30


 

  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
