< Matthew 11 >

1 And it came to pass when finished Jesus commanding the twelve disciples of Him, He departed from there to teach and to preach in the cities of them.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities.
2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent (on account of *N(K)O*) of the disciples of him
Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples,
3 said to Him; You yourself are the coming [One], or another are we to look for?
and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?
4 And answering Jesus said to them; Having gone do relate to John what you hear and see:
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go your way and tell John the things which ye do hear and see:
5 Blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, (and *no*) dead are raised, and poor are evangelised;
the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them.
6 And blessed is he who (only *NK(o)*) unless shall fall away in Me myself.
And blessed is he, whosoever shall find none occasion of stumbling in me.
7 As these now were going away began Jesus to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed by [the] wind shaken?
And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in delicate (garments *k*) dressed? Behold those delicate [clothing] wearing in the houses (of kings *NK(o)*) are;
But what went ye out for to see? a man clothed in soft [raiment]? Behold, they that wear soft [raiment] are in kings’ houses.
9 But what did you go out to see? a prophet? Yes I say to you; and [one] more excellent than a prophet.
But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
10 For this (for *ko*) is [he] concerning whom it has been written: Behold I myself send the messenger of Mine before [the] face of You who will prepare the way of You before You.’
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Amen I say to you; not has been raised among [those] born of women one greater than John the Baptist; Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens greater than he is.
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 From then the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent claim it.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force.
13 All for the prophets and the law until John prophesied.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14 And if you are willing to receive [it], he himself is Elijah who is being about to come.
And if ye are willing to receive [it], this is Elijah, which is to come.
15 The [one] having ears he should hear.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
16 To what however will I compare generation this? Like it is (children *N(k)O*) sitting in (the *no*) markets (who *N(K)O*) (calling out *N(k)O*) (to others *N(K)O*) (of them *k*)
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, which call unto their fellows,
17 (and *k*) saying: We piped for you and not you did dance, we sang a dirge (to you *k*) and not you did wail.
and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn.
18 Came for John neither eating nor drinking, and they say; A demon he has!
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 Came the Son of Man eating and drinking, and they say; Behold a man a glutton and a drunkard, of tax collectors a friend and of sinners! But is justified wisdom by the (deeds *N(K)O*) of her.
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her works.
20 Then He began to denounce the cities in which had taken place the most miracles of Him because not they repented;
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not.
21 Woe to you Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if in Tyre and Sidon had taken place the miracles which having come to pass in you, long ago then would in sackcloth and ashes they have repented.
Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say to you; for Tyre and Sidon more tolerable will it be in [the] day of judgment than for you.
Howbeit I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And you yourself Capernaum, (surely not *N(K)O*) to (*k*) heaven (will be exalted? *N(k)O*) to Hades (will go down! *N(k)O*) For if in Sodom (happened *N(k)O*) the miracles that were happening in you, (it remained *N(k)O*) then would until the day. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven? thou shalt go down unto Hades: for if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you that for [the] land of Sodom more tolerable will it be in day of judgment than for you.
Howbeit I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that [very] time answering Jesus said; I fully consent to You, Father Lord of the heaven and the earth, for (You did hide *N(k)O*) these things from wise and learned and did reveal them to little children.
At that season Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes:
26 Yes O Father, for thus well-pleasing it was before You.
yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight.
27 All things to Me was delivered by the Father of Mine, And no [one] knows the Son only except the Father, nor the Father anyone does know only except the Son and to whom if shall choose the Son to reveal [Him].
All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal [him].
28 Come to Me all you who [are] toiling and burdened, and I myself and I myself will give rest to you.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 do take the yoke of Mine upon you and do learn from Me for gentle I am and humble in heart, and you will find rest for the souls of you.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 The for yoke of Mine [is] easy and the burden of Mine light is.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
