Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on 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 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples
But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”
and said to him, Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what 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 sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.
(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 the one who does not fall away on account of Me.”
and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in 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 Otherwise, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look, those who wear fine clothing are found in kings’ palaces.
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 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and 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 This is the one about whom it is written: ‘Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, 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 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the 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 Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.
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 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
15 He who has ears, let him hear.
Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall hear.
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
BUT to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
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, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is vindicated by her actions.”
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 Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not 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 miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, 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 bearable 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 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. (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 bearable for 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 declared, “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.
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 this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee!
27 All things have been entrusted 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.
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 are weary and 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.
