And when Jesus had made an end of giving orders to his twelve disciples, He departed from thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 ⲃ̅ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉϥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲃ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
Now when John heard in prison of the works of Christ,
he sent two of his disciples to ask Him, Art thou He who was to come, or are we to expect another?
4 ⲇ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲧⲁⲙⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
And Jesus said to them in answer, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see:

the blind are restored to sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised to life, and the poor have the gospel preached to them:
and happy is the man who shall not be offended at any thing in 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.
And as they departed, Jesus took occasion to say to the people concerning John, What went ye out into the desert 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.
But what went ye out to see? a man clad in fine attire? they that wear rich clothes are in the palaces of kings.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲁϩⲁ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
But what did ye indeed go out to see? a prophet? Yes, verily, and one superior to a prophet.
10 ⲓ̅ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲫⲏⲉⲧ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧϥ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ϧⲁϫⲱⲕ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲥⲟⲃϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ.
For this is he, of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee."
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.
For I assure you that in the whole human race there hath not risen a greater than John the baptist: though the lest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he:
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϯⲱⲙⲥ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲟⲩ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲥⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲁⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲟⲛⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
and from the days of John the baptist to this time, the kingdom of heaven is as it were forced into, and the most pressing seize upon it with eagerness.
For all the prophets, and the law, did no more than prophesy, till John came:
and, if ye are willing to receive the truth, This is that Elias who was to come.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁⲓⲛⲁⲧⲉⲛⲑⲱⲛ ⲧⲁⲓⲅ⳿ⲉⲛⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲗⲱⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ϩⲓ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲁⲅⲟⲣⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲙⲟⲩϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ.
But to what shall I compare this generation? they are like children sitting in the market-places,
and calling to their companions, and saying "We have sung and ye have not danced; we have mourned, and ye have not lamented:"
for John came neither eating nor drinking as others do, and they say, He is beside himself:
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡ̇ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲪ̇ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥⲥⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲩⲏⲣⲡ ⳿ⲡ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲓ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲫⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲥ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
the Son of man came eating and drinking like other men, and they call Him a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.

Then began He to upbraid the cities, in which most of his miracles were wrought; 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.
Wo unto thee, Chorazin; wo unto thee, Bethsaida: for if the miracles wrought among 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.
therefore I tell you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgement, than for you.

And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted even to heaven, shalt be cast down to hell: for if the miracles, which have been wrought in thee, had been wrought in Sodom, it would have remained unto this day. (Hadēs g86)

And upon this occasion Jesus opened his mouth and said, "I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to babes:
even so, Father, for it was thy good pleasure that so it should be."

All things are delivered to me by my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, but the Father; nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal Him.

Take but my yoke upon you, and learn of me, (for I am meek and lowly in heart, ) and ye shall find refreshment to your souls:
for my yoke is easy, and my burthen is light.
