Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he passed on from thence, to be teaching and proclaiming in their cities.
And it came to pass, when Yahushua had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Now, John, hearing in the prison the works of the Christ, sending through his disciples,
Now when John had heard in the prison the works of the Messiah, he sent two of his disciples,
3 said unto him, Art, thou, the coming one? or, a different one, are we to expect?
And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 And, answering, Jesus said unto them—Go report unto John what ye do hear and see: —
Yahushua answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
5 The, blind, recover sight, and, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, —and, the dead, are raised, and, the destitute, are told the joyful tidings;
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.
6 And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find cause of stumbling, in me.
And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 But, as these were going their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes, concerning John, —What went ye forth into the wilderness to gaze at? A reed, by a wind, shaken?
And as they departed, Yahushua began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft clothing, arrayed? Lo! they who soft clothing do wear, are in the houses of kings.
But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But why went ye forth? A prophet, to see? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 This, is he, concerning whom it is written, —Lo! I, send my messenger before thy face, who shall make ready thy way before thee!
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily, I say unto you—There hath not arisen, among such as are born of women, a greater than John the Immerser, —yet, he that is less in the kingdom of the heavens, is, greater than he.
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.
12 But, from the days of John the Immerser, until even now, the kingdom of the heavens, is being invaded, and, invaders, are, seizing upon it.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 For, all the prophets and the law, until John, did prophesy;
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And, if ye are willing to accept it, he, is Elijah—the one destined to come.
And if ye will receive it, this is EliYah, which was for to come.
15 He that hath ears, let him hear!
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But, unto what, shall I liken this generation? It is, like, unto children, sitting the market-places, who, calling unto the others,
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
17 say, We played the flute to you, and ye danced not, —we sang a lament, and ye beat not the breast.
And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
18 For, John, came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say—A demon, he hath!
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of Man, came, eating and drinking, and they say, Lo! a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker! a friend of, tax-collectors, and sinners! And yet wisdom hath been justified by her works.
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.
20 Then, began he to upbraid the cities, in which had been done his noblest mighty works; because they repented not: —
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power, which were done in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes, had they repented.
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.
22 Moreover, I say unto you, For Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the day of judgment, than for you.
But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And, thou, Capernaum! Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? Unto hades, thou shall be brought down; because, if, in Sodom, had been done the works of power, which were done in thee, it would, in that case, have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
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. (Hadēs g86)
24 Moreover, I say unto you—For the land of Sodom, more tolerable, will it be in a day of judgment, than, for thee.
But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 In that season, answered Jesus, and said—I openly give praise unto thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, —in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes;
At that time Yahushua answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Master of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Yea, O Father! That, so, it hath become, a delight, before thee.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, fully knoweth the Son, save the rather, neither doth any one fully know, the Father, save, the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son, may be minded, to reveal, him.
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.
28 Come unto me! all ye that toil and are burdened, and, I, will give you rest:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, —because, meek, am I and lowly, in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls;
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.
30 For, my yoke, is easy, and, my burden, light.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
