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 .'

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 .'

Matthew:11:20 @
Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works ,
because they did not reform .
ylt @
Matthew:11:21 @'
Wo to thee ,
Chorazin !
wo to thee ,
Bethsaida !
because ,
if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you ,
long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed ;
ylt @
Matthew:11:22 @
but I say to you ,
to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than for you .
ylt @
Matthew:11:23 @'
And thou ,
Capernaum ,
which unto the heaven wast exalted ,
unto hades shalt be brought down ,
because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee ,
it had remained unto this day ;
ylt @
Matthew:11:24 @
but I say to you ,
to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee .'
ylt @
Matthew:11:25 @
At that time Jesus answering said , '
I do confess to Thee ,
Father ,
Lord of the heavens and of the earth ,
that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones ,
and didst reveal them to babes .
ylt @
Matthew:11:26 @
Yes ,
Father ,
because so it was good pleasure before Thee .
ylt @
Matthew:11:27 @'
All things were delivered to me by my Father ,
and none doth know the Son ,
except the Father ,
nor doth any know the Father ,
except the Son ,
and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [
Him ].
ylt @
Matthew:11:28 @'
Come unto me ,
all ye labouring and burdened ones ,
and I will give you rest ,
ylt @
Matthew:11:29 @
take up my yoke upon you ,
and learn from me ,
because I am meek and humble in heart ,
and ye shall find rest to your souls ,
ylt @
Matthew:11:30 @
for my yoke [
is ]
easy ,
and my burden is light .'
