from
there
to teach and preach in their cities.
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Jesus ended
directing
his twelve disciples, he departed
thence
to teach and to
preach in their cities.
Meanwhile
John heard in prison about
the works of Christ, and
he
sent his disciples
And
John having
heard in the
prison the works of the
Christ, having
sent two
of
his disciples ,
to ask

You
the
One
who was
to
come
, or should
we look for
someone
else
? ”
said
to him, `Art
thou
He
who is
coming
, or for
another
do
we look? '
Jesus replied
, “Go
back
and
report
to John what
you
hear and see :
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them
, `Having
gone,
declare
to John the
things
that
ye
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.

deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor
have
good news proclaimed,
Blessed
is the
one
who does
not fall
away
on
account
of
Me. ”
and
happy
is he
who may
not be
stumbled
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
are
going
, Jesus began to say
to the multitudes
concerning
John ,
`
What went
ye
out to
the wilderness to view
? --
a reed shaken
by
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 to see? --
a man clothed
in soft
garments
? lo
, those wearing
the
soft
things
are in the
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 to see? --
a prophet? yes, I say
to
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 hath
been
written, Lo,
I do
send My messenger before
thy
face
, who 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
to
you, there
hath
not
risen,
among those born of women ,
a
greater than John the Baptist ,
but
he
who
is
least in the reign
of the
heavens
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 till
now, the reign
of the
heavens
doth
suffer
violence, and violent men
do
take
it by
force,
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied
until
John .
for all the prophets and the law till
John did
prophesy,
And if you
are willing to accept
it, he is the
Elijah who was to come .
and if ye
are willing to receive
`
it '
, he is Elijah who was about
to come ;
He who has
ears ,
let him hear.
he who is
having
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:
`And
to what shall
I liken
this generation? it
is
like little
children in market-places,
sitting
and calling to their
comrades,
‘
We played
the
flute
for
you, and you
did not dance ;
we sang
a
dirge
, and you
did not mourn
. ’
and
saying,
We piped
unto
you, and ye
did not dance ,
we lamented
to
you
, and ye
did not smite
the
breast
.
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 demon ;
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, Lo,
a
man,
a
glutton ,
and a
wine-drinker
, a friend of tax -gatherers
and sinners ,
and
wisdom was
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 reproach
the cities in which were
done
most of his mighty
works
, because they did not reform
.
“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 .
`Wo
to thee
, Chorazin! wo
to thee
, Bethsaida! because,
if in
Tyre
and
Sidon
had
been
done
the mighty
works
that were done
in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they
had
reformed;
But I tell
you, it
will
be
more
bearable
for
Tyre and Sidon on
the
day of judgment than for you.
but I say
to
you, to
Tyre and Sidon it
shall
be
more
tolerable
in
a
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
unto
the
heaven wast
exalted
, unto
hades
shalt
be brought down ,
because
if in Sodom
had been done
the
mighty
works
that
were
done
in thee
, it had
remained unto
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
to
you ,
to
the
land
of
Sodom
it shall
be more tolerable
in
a
day of judgment than to
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 answering
said
, `
I do
confess
to
Thee
, Father, Lord of the
heavens
and of
the
earth, that
thou
didst
hide
these things from wise and understanding
ones
, and didst
reveal
them to babes
.
Yes, Father, for
this
was well-pleasing
in
Your
sight
.
Yes, Father, because
so
it
was good
pleasure
before
Thee
.
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 were
delivered
to me by my Father ,
and
none
doth
know
the Son ,
except the Father, nor
doth
any
know
the Father ,
except the Son ,
and he
to whom the Son may
wish
to reveal `
Him '
.
Come to
Me, all you
who
are
weary
and burdened, and I will give you rest .
`
Come unto
me, all ye
labouring
and burdened ones
, 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 up
my yoke upon you ,
and learn from me ,
because
I am meek
and humble in heart, and ye
shall
find rest to
your souls ,
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. ”
for my yoke `
is '
easy ,
and my burden is light. '
