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 unto
him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4 Jesus
answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again
those things which ye do 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 up, and the poor have the gospel
preached to them. 6 And blessed is he,
whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 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? 8 But
what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they
that wear soft clothing are in kings houses. 9 But
what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than
a prophet. 10 For this is he,
of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which
shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 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. 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 Elias, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
16 But whereunto shall I liken
this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and
calling unto their fellows, 17 And
saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned
unto you, and ye have not lamented. 18 For
John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 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.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his
mighty works were done, because they repented not 21 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. 22 But
I say unto 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 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. 24 But
I say unto 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 unto babes.
26 Even so,
Father for so it seemed good
in thy sight. 27 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. 28 Come
unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is
easy, and my burden is light.
