< Matthew 11 >
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and preach in their cities.
And it came to passe when Iesus had made an ende of comaundinge his. xii. disciples that he departed thence to teache and to preache in their cities.
2 Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ: sending two of his disciples he said to him:
When Ihon beinge in preson hearde ye workes of Christ he sent two of his disciples
3 Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another?
and sayde vnto him. Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we loke for another.
4 And Jesus making answer said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen.
Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. Go and shewe Ihon what ye have hearde and sene.
5 The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached to them.
The blynd se the halt goo the lepers are clensed: the deef heare the ded ryse ageyne and the glad tidinges is preached to the povre.
6 And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in me.
And happy is he that is not offended by me.
7 And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see? a reed shaken with the wind?
And as they departed Iesus begane to speake vnto the people of Ihon. What for to se wet ye out in to the wyldernes? wet ye out to se a rede shake with ye wynde?
8 But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are clothed in soft garments, are in the houses of kings.
other what wet ye out for to se? A man clothed in soofte raymet: ? Beholde they yt weare soofte clothig are in kynges howses.
9 But what went you out to see? a prophet? yea I tell you, and more than a prophet.
But what wet ye oute for to se? A prophete? Ye I saye to you and more the a prophete.
10 For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
For this is he of who it is wrytte. Beholde I sende my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy waye before ye.
11 Amen I say to you, there hath not risen among them that are born of women a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is the lesser in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Verely I saye vnto you amonge ye chyldren of wemen arose there not a gretter then Ihon the baptist. Notwithstondinge he that ys lesse in the kyngdome of heven ys gretter then he.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent bear it away.
From the tyme of Ihon Baptist hytherto ye kyngdome of heve suffreth violence and they that go to it with violence pluck it vnto them.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John:
For all the prophetes and the lawe prophesyed vnto to the tyme of Ihon.
14 And if you will receive it, he is Elias that is to come.
Also yf ye wyll receave it this is Helyas which shuld come.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
He yt hathe eares to heare let him heare.
16 But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place.
But wher vnto shall I lyken this generacion? It ys lyke vnto chyldre which syt in the market and call vnto their felowes
17 Who crying to their companions say: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have lamented, and you have not mourned.
and saye: we have pyped vnto you and ye have not daunsed? We have morned vnto you and ye have not sorowed.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil.
For Ihon came nether eatinge nor drinkinge and they saye he hath the devyll.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children.
The sonne of man came eatinge and drinkinge and they saye beholde a glutton and drynker of wyne and a frend vnto publicas and synners. Never the later wysdome ys iustified of hir children.
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance.
Then bega he to vpbrayd the cities in which most of his miracles were done because they meded not.
21 Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes.
Wo be to ye Chorasin. Wo be to ye Betzaida: for if the miracles which were shewd in you had bene done in Tyre and Sidon they had repented longe agone in sackcloth and asshes.
22 But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.
Neverthelesse I say to you: it shall be esier for Tyre and Sidon at the day of iudgemet then for you.
23 And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. (Hadēs )
And thou Capernau which art lift vp vnto heve shalt be brought doune to hell. For if the miracles which have bene done in the had bene shewed in zodom: they had remayned to this daye. (Hadēs )
24 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Neverthelesse I saye vnto you: it shalbe easiar for ye londe of zodo in the daye of iudgemet the for ye.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones.
At yt tyme Iesus answered and sayd: I prayse ye o father lorde of heve and erth because thou hast hid these thinges fro the wyse and prudet and hast opened the vnto babes:
26 Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight.
eve so father for so it pleased ye.
27 All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him.
All thinges are geve vnto me of my father. And noma knoweth ye sonne but ye father: nether knoweth eny ma ye father save ye sonne and he to whome ye sonne will ope him.
28 Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.
Come vnto me all ye that laboure and are laden and I wyll ease you.
29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls.
Take my yoke on you and lerne of me for I am meke and lowly in herte: and ye shall fynd rest vnto youre soules.
30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
