Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to 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 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,
3 said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'
and said to him, Art thou He that cometh, or another are we to expect?
4 And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,
Jeshu answered and said to them, Go, recount to Juchanon these things which you hear and see;
5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
(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 and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.'
and blessed is he who shall not be offended with me.
7 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What went ye out to the wilderness to view? — a reed shaken by 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 'But what went ye out to see? — a man clothed in soft garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings' houses.
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 'But what went ye out to see? — a prophet? yes, I say to 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 for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.
11 Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the reign of the heavens 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 'And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do take it by force,
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 till John did prophesy,
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until Juchanon;
14 and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
and if you are willing, receive, that he is Elia who was to come.
15 he who is having ears to hear — let him hear.
Whoever hath ears to hear, he shall hear.
16 'And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,
BUT to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in the public place, and cry to their companions,
17 and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast.
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 hath 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, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'
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 began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.
Then began Jeshu to reproach those cities in which were done many of his miracles, and which did not repent,
21 'Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;
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 say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in a 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 thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto 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 say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.'
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 answering said, 'I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.
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, because so it was good pleasure before Thee.
Yes, my Father, for thus was it pleasing before thee!
27 'All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish 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 unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, 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 up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to 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.
