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.
After
Jesus had finished
instructing
His twelve disciples, He went
on
from
there
to teach and preach in their cities.
Now
when
John had
heard in the
prison the works of Christ, he sent two
of
his disciples ,
Meanwhile
John heard in prison about
the works of Christ, and
he sent his disciples
And
said
unto
him, Art
thou
he
that
should
come, or do
we look for another
?
to
ask
Him, “Are
You
the
One
who
was
to
come, or should
we look for someone
else
? ”
Jesus answered
and
said
unto
them
, Go and shew
John again
those
things
which
ye
do
hear and see:
Jesus replied
, “
Go back
and report
to
John what
you
hear and see:
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
.
The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good
news
is
preached to the
poor
.
And
blessed is he,
whosoever
shall
not be
offended
in
me.
Blessed is the
one
who
does
not fall
away
on
account
of
Me. ”
And
as they
departed
, Jesus began to say
unto
the multitudes
concerning
John ,
What went
ye
out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken
with
the wind?
As John’s
disciples
were
leaving
, Jesus began to speak
to
the crowds
about
John :
“
What did
you
go
out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying
in
the wind?
But
what went
ye
out for
to see? A man clothed
in soft
raiment
? behold
, they
that
wear soft
clothing are in kings '
houses
.
Otherwise,
what did
you
go
out to see? A man dressed
in fine
clothes
? Look
, those
who
wear fine
clothing are found
in kings ’
palaces
.
But
what went
ye
out for
to see? A prophet? yea
, I say
unto
you, and more than a prophet.
What then
did
you
go
out to see? A prophet? Yes
, I tell
you, and more than a prophet.
For
this is he,
of
whom it is written ,
Behold, I send my messenger before
thy
face
, which
shall
prepare thy
way before thee
.
This is the
one
about
whom it is written :
‘
Behold, I will
send My messenger ahead
of
You
, who
will
prepare Your
way before You
. ’
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.
Truly
I tell
you, among those
born of women there has
risen no
one
greater than John the Baptist .
Yet
even
the
least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
And
from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take
it by
force
.
From the days of John the Baptist until now ,
the kingdom of heaven has
been
subject
to
violence, and the violent lay
claim
to
it.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
And if ye
will
receive
it, this
is Elias,
which
was for
to come.
And if you
are
willing
to
accept
it, he
is the
Elijah
who
was to come.
He that
hath
ears to
hear
, let him hear.
He who
has
ears, let him hear.
But
whereunto
shall
I liken
this generation? It
is
like unto
children sitting in the markets,
and calling unto
their
fellows,
To
what
can
I compare
this generation? They
are
like children sitting in the marketplaces
and calling out
to
others:
And
saying,
We have
piped
unto
you, and ye
have
not danced
; we have
mourned
unto
you
, and ye
have
not lamented
.
‘
We played
the
flute
for
you, and you
did
not dance
; we sang
a
dirge
, and you
did
not mourn
. ’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath
a devil.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘
He has
a demon!’
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
.
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look
at
this
glutton
and drunkard
, a friend of tax
collectors
and sinners !’
But wisdom is vindicated
by
her actions
. ”
Then began he
to upbraid
the cities wherein
most of his mighty
works
were
done
, because they repented
not :
Then Jesus
began to denounce
the cities in
which
most of His miracles
had
been
performed
, because they did
not repent.
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.
“
Woe to
you
, Chorazin! Woe to
you
, Bethsaida! For if the miracles
that
were performed
in you had been performed
in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
But I say
unto
you, It shall
be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon at
the day of judgment ,
than for you.
But I tell
you, it will
be more bearable
for Tyre and Sidon on
the day of judgment than for you.
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.
And you
, Capernaum, will
you
be
lifted
up
to
heaven ?
No
, you
will
be brought down to Hades!
For if the miracles
that
were
performed
in you
had been performed
in Sodom, it would have remained to
this day.
But I say
unto
you ,
That it shall
be more tolerable
for the
land
of
Sodom in
the day of judgment ,
than for thee
.
But I tell
you that it will
be more bearable
for Sodom on
the day of judgment than for you
. ”
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 unto
babes
.
At that time Jesus declared
, “
I praise
You
, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You
have
hidden
these things from the wise and learned
, and revealed them to
little
children
.
Even
so
, Father :
for so
it
seemed
good
in thy
sight.
Yes
, Father ,
for this
was
well-pleasing
in Your
sight.
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.
All things have
been
entrusted
to
Me by
My Father .
No one
knows
the Son except
the Father ,
and
no
one
knows
the Father except
the Son and those
to whom
the Son chooses
to
reveal Him.
Come unto
me, all ye
that
labour
and
are heavy
laden
, and I will give you rest.
Come to
Me, all you
who
are weary
and
burdened
, and I will give you rest.
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.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from
Me; for I am gentle
and humble
in heart ,
and you
will
find rest for
your souls.
For my yoke is easy ,
and my burden is light.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. ”
