Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished instructing His twelve disciples, He went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

2 Meanwhile John heard in prison about the works of Christ, and he sent his disciples

3 to ask Him, “Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?”

4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see:
yIzuH pratyavOcat, andhA nEtrANi labhantE, khanjcA gacchanti, kuSThinaH svasthA bhavanti, badhirAH zRNvanti, mRtA jIvanta uttiSThanti, daridrANAM samIpE susaMvAdaH pracAryyata,
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.
EtAni yadyad yuvAM zRNuthaH pazyathazca gatvA tadvArttAM yOhanaM gadataM|
6 Blessed is the one who does not fall away on account of 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?
anantaraM tayOH prasthitayO ryIzu ryOhanam uddizya janAn jagAda, yUyaM kiM draSTuM vahirmadhyEprAntaram agacchata? kiM vAtEna kampitaM nalaM?
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.
vA kiM vIkSituM vahirgatavantaH? kiM parihitasUkSmavasanaM manujamEkaM? pazyata, yE sUkSmavasanAni paridadhati, tE rAjadhAnyAM tiSThanti|
9 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.
tarhi yUyaM kiM draSTuM bahiragamata, kimEkaM bhaviSyadvAdinaM? tadEva satyaM| yuSmAnahaM vadAmi, sa bhaviSyadvAdinOpi mahAn;
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.’
yataH, pazya svakIyadUtOyaM tvadagrE prESyatE mayA| sa gatvA tava panthAnaM smayak pariSkariSyati|| EtadvacanaM yamadhi likhitamAstE sO'yaM yOhan|
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.
aparaM yuSmAnahaM tathyaM bravImi, majjayitu ryOhanaH zrESThaH kOpi nArItO nAjAyata; tathApi svargarAjyamadhyE sarvvEbhyO yaH kSudraH sa yOhanaH zrESThaH|
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.
aparanjca A yOhanO'dya yAvat svargarAjyaM balAdAkrAntaM bhavati Akraminazca janA balEna tadadhikurvvanti|
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
yatO yOhanaM yAvat sarvvabhaviSyadvAdibhi rvyavasthayA ca upadEzaH prAkAzyata|
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
yadi yUyamidaM vAkyaM grahItuM zaknutha, tarhi zrEyaH, yasyAgamanasya vacanamAstE sO'yam EliyaH|
15 He who has ears, let him hear.
yasya zrOtuM karNau staH sa zRNOtu|
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
EtE vidyamAnajanAH kai rmayOpamIyantE? yE bAlakA haTTa upavizya svaM svaM bandhumAhUya vadanti,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
vayaM yuSmAkaM samIpE vaMzIravAdayAma, kintu yUyaM nAnRtyata; yuSmAkaM samIpE ca vayamarOdima, kintu yUyaM na vyalapata, tAdRzai rbAlakaista upamAyiSyantE|
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
yatO yOhan Agatya na bhuktavAn na pItavAMzca, tEna lOkA vadanti, sa bhUtagrasta iti|
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.”
manujasuta Agatya bhuktavAn pItavAMzca, tEna lOkA vadanti, pazyata ESa bhOktA madyapAtA caNPAlapApinAM bandhazca, kintu jnjAninO jnjAnavyavahAraM nirdOSaM jAnanti|
20 Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.
sa yatra yatra purE bahvAzcaryyaM karmma kRtavAn, tannivAsinAM manaHparAvRttyabhAvAt tAni nagarANi prati hantEtyuktA kathitavAn,
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.
hA kOrAsIn, hA baitsaidE, yuSmanmadhyE yadyadAzcaryyaM karmma kRtaM yadi tat sOrasIdOnnagara akAriSyata, tarhi pUrvvamEva tannivAsinaH zANavasanE bhasmani cOpavizantO manAMsi parAvarttiSyanta|
22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
tasmAdahaM yuSmAn vadAmi, vicAradinE yuSmAkaM dazAtaH sOrasIdOnO rdazA sahyatarA bhaviSyati|
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)
aparanjca bata kapharnAhUm, tvaM svargaM yAvadunnatOsi, kintu narakE nikSEpsyasE, yasmAt tvayi yAnyAzcaryyANi karmmaNyakAriSata, yadi tAni sidOmnagara akAriSyanta, tarhi tadadya yAvadasthAsyat| (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

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.
EtasminnEva samayE yIzuH punaruvAca, hE svargapRthivyOrEkAdhipatE pitastvaM jnjAnavatO viduSazca lOkAn pratyEtAni na prakAzya bAlakAn prati prakAzitavAn, iti hEtOstvAM dhanyaM vadAmi|
26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
hE pitaH, itthaM bhavEt yata idaM tvadRSTAvuttamaM|
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.

28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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.

30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
