* And it came to pass , when Jesus had made an end of his charge to his twelve disciples , that he departed thence , to teach and to preach in their cities . * And John , having heard in the prison of the works of Christ , sent by his disciples , * and said to him , Art thou he that is to come , or are we to look for another ? * And Jesus answered and said to them , Go and tell John what ye hear and see . * The blind receive sight and the lame walk , lepers are cleansed , and the deaf hear , and the dead are raised , and to the poor good tidings are brought ; * and blessed is he , whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me . * And , as these were going , Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John , What went ye out into the wilderness to see ? the reeds shaken by the wind ? * But why did ye go out ? to see a man clothed in soft raiment ? Lo ! they that wear soft clothing are in kings ’ houses . * But why did ye go out ? to see a prophet ? Yea , I say to you , and more than a prophet . * For this is he of whom it is written : "Lo ! I send my messenger before thy face , who shall prepare thy way before thee ." * Truly do I say to you , Among those born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist . But he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he . * And from the days of John the Baptist until now , the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence , and the violent seize upon it . * For all the Prophets and the Law , until John , prophesied . * And if ye are willing to receive it , he is the Elijah who was to come . * He that hath ears , let him hear . * But to what shall I liken this generation ? It is like children sitting in the markets , who call to their fellows , * and say , We piped to you , and ye did not dance ; we sung a dirge , and ye did not lament . * For John came neither eating nor drinking ; and they say , He hath a demon . * The Son of man came eating and drinking ; and they say , Behold , a glutton and a wine –bibber , a friend of publicans and sinners ! But wisdom is justified by her works . * Then he began to upbraid the cities wherein most of his miracles were done , because they did not repent . * Woe to thee , Chorazin ! woe to thee , Bethsaida ! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon , they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes . * But I say to you , It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment , than for you . * And thou , Capernaum ! shalt thou be exalted to heaven ? Thou shalt be brought down to the underworld ; for if the miracles which were done in thee had been done in Sodom , it would have remained until this day . * But I say to you , that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment , than for thee . * At that time Jesus answered and said , I thank thee , O Father , Lord of heaven and earth , that , though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning , thou didst reveal them to babes . * Yea , Father , for so it seemed good in thy sight . * All things were delivered to me by my Father ; and no one knoweth the Son but the Father ; nor doth any one know the Father , but the Son , and he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him . * Come to me , all ye that labor and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest . * Take my yoke upon you , and learn from me ; for I am meek and lowly in heart ; and ye shall find rest for your souls . * For my yoke is easy , and my burden is light .
