When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in the cities of Galilee.

Now when John heard in prison about the works Christ had done, he sent two of his disciples
to ask him, “Are yoʋ the one who is to come, or should we wait for another?”
4 ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲙⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
Jesus answered them, “Go tell John what you hear and see:

The blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are made clean and the deaf hear, the dead are raised and the poor have good news preached to them.
And blessed is anyone who does not take offense at me.”
7 ⲍ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲕⲁϣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲑⲏⲟⲩ ⲕⲓⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
As these men went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 ⲏ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϭⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲁⲛⲏ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲁⲛⲏ ⲥⲉⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲟⲩⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
What then did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those who wear soft garments are in the palaces of kings.

But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

For this is the one of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of yoʋ, who will prepare yoʋr way before yoʋ.’
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⳿ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲧⲱⲛϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲒⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϯⲱⲙⲥ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ.
Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist, but whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has been suffering violence, and the violent try to take it by force.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

“But to what should I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to their companions,
‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance; we sang a lament for you, but you did not mourn.’
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her children.”

Then Jesus began to reproach the cities in which most of his miracles had been done, because they did not repent:
21 ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ ⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲛⲉ Ⲭⲟⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲛⲉ Ⲃⲏⲑⲥⲁ⳿ⲓⲇⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲁⲓϫⲟⲙ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲧⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧⲤⲓⲇⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲓⲥ⳿ⲑⲛⲉⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲕⲉⲣⲙⲓ.
“Woe to yoʋ, Chorazin! Woe to yoʋ, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ Ⲧⲩⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲧⲤⲓⲇⲱⲛ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϯ⳿ⲁⲥⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
But I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

And yoʋ, Capernaum, who have been exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades. For if the miracles that were done in yoʋ had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)

At that time Jesus said, “I praise yoʋ, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because yoʋ have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to infants.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in yoʋr sight.
