Matthew 11 — ASVBT
11Verse 1And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.Verse 2Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciplesVerse 3and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?Verse 4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:Verse 5the 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 good tidings preached to them.Verse 6And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.Verse 7And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?Verse 8But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in royal houses.Verse 9But what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.Verse 10For this is he, of whom it is written,Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,
Who shall prepare thy way before thee.Verse 11Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen one greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.Verse 12And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.Verse 13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.Verse 14And if ye are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, that is to come.Verse 15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.Verse 16But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, and calling unto their fellows,Verse 17and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed unto you, and ye did not mourn.Verse 18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon.Verse 19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her children.Verse 20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.Verse 21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.Verse 22But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.Verse 23And thou, Capernaum, who art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day.Verse 24But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.Verse 25At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes:Verse 26yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.Verse 27All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him.Verse 28Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Verse 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.Verse 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
