Matthew 11:2 - But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
Matthew 11:3 - and said to him,
Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
Matthew 11:4 - Jeshu answered and said to them,
Go, recount to Juchanon these things which you hear and see;
Matthew 11:5 - (that) the blind see, the lame are walking, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
Matthew 11:6 - and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
Matthew 11:7 - But when they were gone, Jeshu began to speak to the assembly concerning Juchanon:
What went you forth into the waste to see ?
a reed that by the wind was shaken ?
Matthew 11:8 - And if not, what went you forth to see ?
a man clothed in soft vestments ?
Behold, they who are softly clothed are in the house of kings.
Matthew 11:9 - And if not, what went you forth to see ?
a prophet ?
I tell you, Yes;
and more than a prophet.
Matthew 11:10 - For this is he concerning whom it is written,
Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.
Matthew 11:11 - Amen I say to you, there hath not arisen among them born of women [one] who [is] greater than Juchanon the Baptizer:
yet, the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Matthew 11:12 - But from the days of Juchanon the Baptizer until now, the kingdom of the heavens by violence is taken, and the violent ones seize it.
Matthew 11:13 - For all the prophets and the law prophesied[Or. were prophetic.] until Juchanon;
Matthew 11:14 - and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
Matthew 11:15 - Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall hear.
Matthew 11:16 - BUT to what shall I compare this generation ?
It is like children who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
Matthew 11:17 - and say,
We have sung to you, and you have not danced;
we have wailed unto you, and you have not mourned.
Matthew 11:18 - For Juchanon came neither eating nor drinking, and they say,
He hath a devil.
Matthew 11:19 - The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say,
See a man a devourer, a wine-drinker, a friend of tribute-takers and of sinners.
But justified is wisdom by her servants.
Matthew 11:20 - Then began Jeshu to reproach those cities in which were done many of his miracles, and which did not repent,
Matthew 11:21 - saying,
Woe to thee, Korazin !
woe to thee, Bethtsaida!
for if in Tsur and in Tsaidon those miracles had been done which have been performed in you, they would a while ago in sackcloth and ashes have repented.
Matthew 11:22 - But I say to you, that for Tsur and Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable [Or, tranquil.] in the day of judgment than for you.
Matthew 11:23 - And thou, Kaphernachum, who unto heaven art exalted, unto Shiul shalt be brought down;
for if in Sadum had been done those miracles which have been done in thee, it would have stood until this day.
Matthew 11:24 - But I tell you that for the land of Sadum it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for thee.
Matthew 11:25 - IN that time Jeshu answered and said,
I praise thee, my Father, the Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou hast concealed these (things) from the wise and prudent [ones] , but hast revealed them unto little children.
Matthew 11:26 - Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee !
Matthew 11:27 - All things are delivered to me from my Father;
and no man knoweth the Son but the Father;
also the Father no man knoweth, except the Son, and he (to) whom the Son pleaseth to reveal (him).
Matthew 11:28 - Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:29 - Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am peaceful and lowly in my heart, and you shall find repose for your souls.
Matthew 11:30 - For my yoke is kindly, and my burden is light.
