MATTHEW 11
1 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from
there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.
2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent
his disciples
3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we
expect someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
5 The
blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the
deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.
6
Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about
John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the
wind?
8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No,
those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces.
9 Then what did you go out
to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
10 This is the
one about whom it is written:
“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way before you.’
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone
greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven
is greater than he.
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the
kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been
raiding it.
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14 And
if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
15 Whoever
has ears, let them hear.
16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in
the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 “‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton
and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved
right by her deeds.”
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had
been performed, because they did not repent.
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to
you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been
performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth
and ashes.
22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on
the day of judgment than for you.
23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to
the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were
performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this
day.
24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of
judgment than for you.”
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed
them to little children.
26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to
do.
27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son
except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to
whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my
burden is light.”
