Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
AND it was that when Jeshu had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he removed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
and said to him, Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Jeshu answered and said to them, Go, recount to Juchanon these things which you hear and see;
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
(that) the blind see, the lame are walking, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
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?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
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.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
And if not, what went you forth to see? a prophet? I tell you, Yes; and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Amen I say to you, there hath not arisen among them born of women who greater than Juchanon the Baptizer: yet, the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
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.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Juchanon;
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall hear.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
BUT to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
and say, We have sung to you, and you have not danced; we have wailed unto you, and you have not mourned.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
For Juchanon came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
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.
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Then began Jeshu to reproach those cities in which were done many of his miracles, and which did not repent,
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
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.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
But I say to you, that for Tsur and Tsaidon it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for you.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
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. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
But I tell you that for the land of Sadum it shall be more tolerable in the day of judgment than for thee.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
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, but hast revealed them unto little children.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee!
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
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).
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, 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.
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.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
For my yoke is kindly, and my burden is light.
