web - Matthew:11:1-19

web@Matthew:11:1 @ It happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

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

web@Matthew:11:3 @ and said to him, "Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?"

web@Matthew:11:4 @ Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

web@Matthew:11:5 @ the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, {Isaiah strkjv@35:5} the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. {Isaiah strkjv@61:1-4}

web@Matthew:11:6 @ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me."

web@Matthew:11:7 @ As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

web@Matthew:11:8 @ But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses.

web@Matthew:11:9 @ But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

web@Matthew:11:10 @ For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.' {Malachi strkjv@3:1}

web@Matthew:11:11 @ Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

web@Matthew:11:12 @ From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. {or, plunder it.}

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

web@Matthew:11:14 @ If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

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

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

web@Matthew:11:17 @ and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you didn't dance. We mourned for you, and you didn't lament.'

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

web@Matthew:11:19 @ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children. {NU reads "actions" instead of "children"}"
