Matthew:11:1-19
ylt@Matthew:11:1 @And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
ylt@Matthew:11:2 @And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
ylt@Matthew:11:3 @said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'
ylt@Matthew:11:4 @And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,
ylt@Matthew:11:5 @blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
ylt@Matthew:11:6 @and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'
ylt@Matthew:11:7 @And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went ye out to the wilderness to view? -- a reed shaken by the wind?
ylt@Matthew:11:8 @'But what went ye out to see? -- a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.
ylt@Matthew:11:9 @'But what went ye out to see? -- a prophet? yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
ylt@Matthew:11:10 @for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
ylt@Matthew:11:11 @Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he.
ylt@Matthew:11:12 @'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,
ylt@Matthew:11:13 @for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy,
ylt@Matthew:11:14 @and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
ylt@Matthew:11:15 @he who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.
ylt@Matthew:11:16 @'And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,
ylt@Matthew:11:17 @and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.
ylt@Matthew:11:18 @'For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon;
ylt@Matthew:11:19 @the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'
