1And[G2532] it came to pass[G1096], when[G3753]Jesus[G2424] had made an end[G5055] of commanding[G1299]his[G846]twelve[G1427]disciples[G3101], he departed[G3327]thence[G1564] to teach[G1321]and[G2532] to preach[G2784]in[G1722]their[G846]cities[G4172].
2Now[G1161] when John[G2491] had heard[G191]in[G1722] the prison[G1201] the works[G2041] of Christ[G5547], he sent[G3992]two[G1417] of his[G846]disciples[G3101],
3
And said[G2036] unto him[G846], Art[G1488]thou[G4771] he that should come[G2064], or[G2228] do we look[G4328] for another?[G2087]
4Jesus[G2424]answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036] unto them[G846], Go[G4198]and[G2532]shew[G518]John[G2491]again[G518] those things which[G3739] ye do hear[G191]and[G2532]see[G991]:
5
The blind[G5185] receive their sight[G308], and[G2532] the lame[G5560]walk[G4043], the lepers[G3015] are cleansed[G2511], and[G2532] the deaf[G2974]hear[G191], the dead[G3498] are raised up[G1453], and[G2532] the poor[G4434] have the gospel preached to them[G2097].
6And[G2532]blessed[G3107]is[G2076] he, whosoever[G3739]shall[G4624]not[G3362] be offended[G4624]in[G1722]me[G1698].
7And[G1161]as[G5130] they departed[G4198], Jesus[G2424]began[G756] to say[G3004] unto the multitudes[G3793]concerning[G4012]John[G2491], What[G5101] went ye[G1831] out into[G1519] the wilderness[G2048] to see?[G2300] A reed[G2563]shaken[G4531]with[G5259] the wind?[G417]
8But[G235]what[G5101] went ye out[G1831] for to see?[G1492] A man[G444]clothed[G294]in[G1722]soft[G3120]raiment?[G2440]behold[G2400], they that wear[G5409]soft[G3120] clothing are[G1526]in[G1722]kings[G935]' houses[G3624].
9But[G235]what[G5101] went ye out[G1831] for to see?[G1492] A prophet?[G4396]yea[G3483], I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], and[G2532]more[G4055] than a prophet[G4396].
10For[G1063]this[G3778]is[G2076] he, of[G4012]whom[G3739] it is[G2076]written[G1125], Behold[G2400], I[G1473]send[G649]my[G3450]messenger[G32]before[G4253]thy[G4675]face[G4383], which[G3739] shall prepare[G2680]thy[G4675]way[G3598]before[G1715]thee[G4675].
11Verily[G281] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], Among[G1722] them that are born[G1084] of women[G1135] there hath[G1453]not[G3756]risen[G1453] a greater than[G3187]John[G2491] the Baptist[G910]: notwithstanding[G1161]he[G846] that is[G2076]least[G3398]in[G1722] the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772]is[G2076] greater than[G3187]he[G846].
12And[G1161]from[G575] the days[G2250] of John[G2491] the Baptist[G910]until[G2193]now[G737] the kingdom[G932] of heaven[G3772] suffereth violence[G971], and[G2532] the violent[G973]take[G726]it[G846] by force[G726].
13For[G1063]all[G3956] the prophets[G4396]and[G2532] the law[G3551]prophesied[G4395]until[G2193]John[G2491].
14And[G2532]if[G1487] ye will[G2309]receive[G1209] it, this[G846]is[G2076]Elias[G2243], which[G3588] was for[G3195] to come[G2064].
15
He that hath[G2192]ears[G3775] to hear[G191], let him hear[G191].
16But[G1161]whereunto[G5101] shall I liken[G3666]this[G5026]generation?[G1074] It is[G2076]like[G3664] unto children[G3808]sitting[G2521]in[G1722] the markets[G58], and[G2532]calling[G4377] unto their[G846]fellows[G2083],
17And[G2532]saying[G3004], We have[G3738]piped[G832] unto you[G5213], and[G2532] ye have[G2875]not[G3756]danced[G3738]; we have[G2875]mourned[G2354] unto you[G5213], and[G2532] ye have[G2875]not[G3756]lamented[G2875].
18For[G1063]John[G2491]came[G2064]neither[G3383]eating[G2068]nor[G3383]drinking[G4095], and[G2532] they say[G3004], He hath[G2192] a devil[G1140].
19
The Son[G5207]of[G575]man[G444]came[G2064]eating[G2068]and[G2532]drinking[G4095], and[G2532] they say[G3004], Behold[G2400] a man[G444]gluttonous[G5314], and[G2532] a winebibber[G3630], a friend[G5384]of[G575]publicans[G5057]and[G2532]sinners[G268]. But[G2532]wisdom[G4678] is justified[G1344]of[G575]her[G846]children[G5043].
20Then[G5119] began he[G756] to upbraid[G3679] the cities[G4172]wherein[G1722]most[G4118] of his[G846] mighty works[G1411] were done[G1096], because[G3754] they repented[G3340]not[G3756]:
21Woe[G3759] unto thee[G4671], Chorazin[G5523]! woe[G3759] unto thee[G4671], Bethsaida[G966]! for[G3754]if[G1487] the mighty works[G1411], which[G3588] were done[G1096]in[G1722]you[G5213], had been done[G1096]in[G1722]Tyre[G5184]and[G2532]Sidon[G4605], they would have repented[G3340] long ago[G302]in[G1722]sackcloth[G4526]and[G2532]ashes[G4700].
22But[G4133] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], It shall be[G2071] more tolerable[G414] for Tyre[G5184]and[G2532]Sidon[G4605]at[G1722] the day[G2250] of judgment[G2920], than[G2228] for you[G5213].
23And[G2532]thou[G4771], Capernaum[G2584], which[G3588] art exalted[G5312]unto[G2193]heaven[G3772], shalt be brought down[G2601]to[G2193]hell[G86]: for[G3754]if[G1487] the mighty works[G1411], which[G3588] have been done[G1096]in[G1722]thee[G4671], had been done[G1096]in[G1722]Sodom[G4670], it would have remained[G302]until[G3360] this day[G4594].
24But[G4133] I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], That[G3754] it shall be[G2071] more tolerable[G414] for the land[G1093] of Sodom[G4670]in[G1722] the day[G2250] of judgment[G2920], than[G2228] for thee[G4671].
25At[G1722]that[G1565]time[G2540]Jesus[G2424]answered[G611]and[G2532]said[G2036], I thank[G1843]thee[G4671], O Father[G3962], Lord[G2962] of heaven[G3772]and[G2532]earth[G1093], because[G3754] thou hast hid[G613] these things[G5023]from[G575] the wise[G4680]and[G2532]prudent[G4908], and[G2532] hast revealed[G601]them[G846] unto babes[G3516].
26
Even so[G3483], Father[G3962]: for[G3754]so[G3779] it seemed[G1096]good[G2107] in thy[G4675]sight[G1715].
27
All things[G3956] are delivered[G3860] unto me[G3427]of[G5259]my[G3450]Father[G3962]: and[G2532] no man[G3762]knoweth[G1921] the Son[G5207], but[G1508] the Father[G3962]; neither[G3761]knoweth[G1921] any man[G5100] the Father[G3962], save[G1508] the Son[G5207], and[G2532]he[G2532]to[G3739]whomsoever[G1437] the Son[G5207]will[G1014]reveal[G601] him.
28Come[G1205]unto[G4314]me[G3165], all[G3956] ye that labour[G2872]and[G2532] are heavy laden[G5412], and[G2532]I[G2504] will give[G373]you[G5209]rest[G373].
29Take[G142]my[G3450]yoke[G2218]upon[G1909]you[G5209], and[G2532]learn[G3129]of[G575]me[G1700]; for[G3754] I am[G1510]meek[G4235]and[G2532]lowly[G5011] in heart[G2588]: and[G2532] ye shall find[G2147]rest[G372] unto your[G5216]souls[G5590].
