Matthew 11:1 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.
Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the
prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Matthew 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he
that should come, or do we look for another?
Matthew 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear
and see:
Matthew 11:5 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.
Matthew 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever
shall not be offended in me.
Matthew 11:7 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?
Matthew 11:8 But what went ye out for to
see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear
soft clothing are in kings' houses.
Matthew 11:9 But what went ye out for to
see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a
prophet.
Matthew 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is
written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which
shall prepare thy way before thee.
Matthew 11:11 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.
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence,
and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the
law prophesied until John.
Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive it,
this is Elias, which was for to come.
Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
Matthew 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken
this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the
markets, and calling unto their fellows,
Matthew 11:17 And saying, We have piped
unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you,
and ye have not lamented.
Matthew 11:18 For John came neither eating
nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
Matthew 11:19 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.
Matthew 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the
cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because
they repented not:
Matthew 11:21 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.
Matthew 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall
be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment,
than for you.
Matthew 11:23 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.
Matthew 11:24 But I say unto you, That it
shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of
judgment, than for thee.
Matthew 11:25 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.
Matthew 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it
seemed good in thy sight.
Matthew 11:27 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.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that
labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29 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.
Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.
