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.

John having
heard in the
prison the works of the
Christ, having
sent two
of
his disciples ,

John heard in prison about
the works of Christ, and
he
sent his disciples

to him, `Art
thou

to ask
Him, “Are
You
the
One
who was
to
come
, or should
we look for
someone
else
? ”
And
Jesus answering
said
to
them,
`Having
gone
, declare
to John the
things
that
ye
hear and see ,
Jesus replied
, “Go
back
and
report
to John what
you
hear and see :
blind receive sight, and
lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and
deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor
have
good news proclaimed,

and
happy
is he
who may
not be
stumbled
in
me. '
Blessed
is the
one
who does
not fall
away
on
account
of
Me. ”
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?
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 to see? --
a man clothed
in soft
garments
? lo
, those wearing
the
soft
things
are in the
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 to see? --
a prophet? yes, I say
to
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 hath
been
written ,
Lo
, I do
send My messenger before
thy
face
, who 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
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.
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 till
now, the reign
of the
heavens
doth
suffer
violence, and violent men
do
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 till
John did
prophesy,
For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied
until
John .
and if ye
are willing to receive
`
it '
, he is Elijah who was about
to come ;
And if you
are willing to accept
it, he is the
Elijah who was to come .
he who is
having
ears to
hear
--
let him hear.
He who has
ears ,
let him hear.
`And
to what shall
I liken
this generation? it
is
like little
children in
market-places,
sitting and calling to their
comrades,
To what can
I compare
this generation? They
are
like children sitting in
the
marketplaces
and calling out
to others:
and
saying,
We piped
unto
you, and ye
did not dance ,
we lamented
to
you
, and ye
did not smite
the
breast
.
‘
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 demon ;
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, Lo,
a
man,
a
glutton ,
and a
wine-drinker
, a friend of tax -gatherers
and sinners ,
and
wisdom was
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 reproach
the cities in which were
done
most of his mighty
works
, because they did not reform
.
Then Jesus
began to denounce
the cities in which most of His miracles
had
been
performed
, because they did not repent
.
`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;
“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
to
you, to
Tyre
and
Sidon
it shall
be more tolerable
in
a
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
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 ;
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
to
you ,
to
the
land
of
Sodom
it shall
be more tolerable
in
a
day of judgment than to
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 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
.
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
.
Yes, Father, because
so
it
was good
pleasure
before
Thee
.
Yes, Father, for
this
was well-pleasing
in
Your
sight
.
`
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 '
.
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
labouring
and burdened ones
, and I will give you rest ,
Come to
Me, all you
who
are
weary
and burdened, and I will give you rest .
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 ,
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. ”
