acv - Matthew:11:1-19

acv@Matthew:11:1 @ And it came to pass when Jesus finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

acv@Matthew:11:2 @ Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

acv@Matthew:11:3 @ he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another?

acv@Matthew:11:4 @ And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:

acv@Matthew:11:5 @ the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good-news.

acv@Matthew:11:6 @ And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.

acv@Matthew:11:7 @ And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

acv@Matthew:11:8 @ But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.

acv@Matthew:11:9 @ But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.

acv@Matthew:11:10 @ For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee.

acv@Matthew:11:11 @ Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

acv@Matthew:11:12 @ And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it.

acv@Matthew:11:13 @ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

acv@Matthew:11:14 @ And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come.

acv@Matthew:11:15 @ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

acv@Matthew:11:16 @ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions,

acv@Matthew:11:17 @ and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast.

acv@Matthew:11:18 @ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.

acv@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.
