Book 40 : MATTHEW - Chapter 011
011:001
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he
sent two of his disciples
011:002
And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look
for another
011:003
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again
those things which ye do hear and see
011:004
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers
are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and
the poor have the gospel preached to them
011:005
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me
011:006
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes
concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?
A reed shaken with the wind
011:007
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings'
houses
011:008
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
you, and more than a prophet
011:009
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee
011:010
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there
hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:
notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he
011:011
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force
011:012
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John
011:013
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to
come
011:014
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear
011:015
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto
children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
fellows
011:016
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we
have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented
011:017
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
hath a devil
011:018
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold
a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children
011:019
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
works were done, because they repented not
011:020
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre
and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and
ashes
011:021
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you
011:022
And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been
done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained
until this day
011:023
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee
011:024
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes
011:025
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight
011:026
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the
Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
him
011:027
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
will give you rest
011:028
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls
011:029
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light
