Meanwhile

the works of Christ, and
he sent his disciples
Now
when
John had

prison the works of Christ, he sent two
of
his disciples ,
to
ask
Him, “Are
You
the
One
who
was
to
come, or should
we look for someone
else
? ”
And
said
unto
him, Art
thou
he
that
should
come, or do
we look for another
?
Jesus replied
, “
Go back
and report
to
John what
you
hear and see:
Jesus answered
and
said
unto
them
, Go and shew
John again
those
things
which
ye
do
hear and see:
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
.
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

Blessed is the
one
who
does
not fall
away
on
account
of
Me. ”
And
blessed is he,
whosoever
shall
not be
offended
in
me.
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?
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?
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 man clothed
in soft
raiment
? behold
, they
that
wear soft
clothing are in kings '
houses
.
What then
did
you
go
out to see? A prophet? Yes
, I tell
you, and more than a prophet.
But
what went
ye
out for
to see? A prophet? yea
, I say
unto
you, and more than a prophet.
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
. ’
For
this is he,
of
whom it is written ,
Behold, I send my messenger before
thy
face
, which
shall
prepare thy
way before thee
.
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.
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.
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.
And
from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take
it by
force
.
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
And if you
are
willing
to
accept
it, he
is the
Elijah
who
was to come.
And if ye
will
receive
it, this
is Elias,
which
was for
to come.
He who
has
ears, let him hear.
He that
hath
ears to
hear
, let him hear.
To
what
can
I compare
this generation? They
are
like children sitting in the marketplaces
and calling out
to
others:
But
whereunto
shall
I liken
this generation? It
is
like unto
children sitting in the markets,
and calling unto
their
fellows,
‘
We played
the
flute
for
you, and you
did
not dance
; we sang
a
dirge
, and you
did
not mourn
. ’
And
saying,
We have
piped
unto
you, and ye
have
not danced
; we have
mourned
unto
you
, and ye
have
not lamented
.
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘
He has
a demon!’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath
a devil.
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
. ”
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
.
Then Jesus
began to denounce
the cities in
which
most of His miracles
had
been
performed
, because they did
not repent.
Then began he
to upbraid
the cities wherein
most of his mighty
works
were
done
, because they repented
not :
“
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.
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.
But I tell
you, it will
be more bearable
for Tyre and Sidon on
the day of judgment than for you.
But I say
unto
you, It shall
be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon at
the day of judgment ,
than for you.
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.
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.
But I tell
you that it will
be more bearable
for Sodom on
the day of judgment than for you
. ”
But I say
unto
you ,
That it shall
be more tolerable
for the
land
of
Sodom in
the day of judgment ,
than for thee
.
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
.
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
.
Yes
, Father ,
for this
was
well-pleasing
in Your
sight.
Even
so
, Father :
for so
it
seemed
good
in thy
sight.
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.
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.
Come to
Me, all you
who
are
weary
and burdened
, and I will give you rest.
Come unto
me, all ye
that
labour
and are
heavy
laden
, and I will give you rest.
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.
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.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. ”
For my yoke is easy ,
and my burden is light.
