41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. ²Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, ³And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? ⁴Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: ⁵The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. ⁶And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

⁷And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings houses. ⁹But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. ¹¹Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹²And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. ¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. ¹⁵He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, ¹⁷And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. ¹⁸For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. ¹⁹The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

²⁰Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: ²¹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²²But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. ²³And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

²⁵At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. ²⁶Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. ²⁷All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.(KJV)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his 12 disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. ²Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent 2 of his disciples, ³And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? ⁴Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: ⁵The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. ⁶And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

⁷And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? ⁸But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. ⁹But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. ¹¹Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹²And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. ¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. ¹⁵He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, ¹⁷And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. ¹⁸For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. ¹⁹The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

²⁰Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: ²¹Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²²But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. ²³And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

²⁵At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. ²⁶Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. ²⁷All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.(KJV/NC)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities. ²Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples ³and said unto him, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? ⁴And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see: ⁵the 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. ⁶And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.

⁷And 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? ⁸But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in king's houses. ⁹But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. ¹⁰This is he, of whom it is written,

Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,

Who shall prepare thy way before thee.

¹¹Verily 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. ¹²And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and men of violence take it by force. ¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴And if ye are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, that is to come. ¹⁵He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁶But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows ¹⁷and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn. ¹⁸For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a demon. ¹⁹The 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.

²⁰Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not. ²¹Woe 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. ²²But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. ²³And 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. ²⁴But I say unto you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

²⁵At 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: ²⁶yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. ²⁷All 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. ²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.(ASV)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹WHEN Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed from that place to teach and to preach in their cities. ²But when John heard in prison of the works of Christ, he sent by his disciples, ³And said to him, Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect another? ⁴Jesus answered and said, Go and describe to John the things which you see and hear. ⁵The blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear , and the dead rise up, and the poor are given hope. ⁶And blessed is he who does not stumble on account of me.

⁷¶ When they went away, Jesus began to speak to the people concerning John, What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed which is shaken by the wind? ⁸If not so, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Behold those who wear fine clothes are in kings' houses. ⁹And if not so, What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. ¹⁰For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare the way before you.

¹¹¶ Truly I say to you, that among those who are born of women, there has never risen one who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet even the least person in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹²From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been administered by force, and only those in power control it. ¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴And if you wish, accept it, that he is Elijah who was to come. ¹⁵He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶¶ But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like boys who sit in the street and call to their friends. ¹⁷And say, We have sung to you, but you would not dance; and we have wailed to you but you did not mourn. ¹⁸For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they said he is crazy. ¹⁹The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and they said, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners. And yet wisdom is justified by its works.

²⁰¶ Then Jesus began to reproach the cities in which his many works were done, and which did not repent. And he said, ²¹Woe to you, Chorazin! woe to you, Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the works which were done in you, they might have repented in sackcloth and ashes. ²²But I say to you, It will be easier for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. ²³And you, Capernaum, which have exalted yourself up to heaven, shall be brought down to Sheol; for if in Sodom had been done the works which were done in you, it would be standing to this day. ²⁴But I say to you, It will be easier for the land of Sodom in the judgment day, than for you.

²⁵¶ At that time, Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the men of understanding, and you have revealed them to children. ²⁶O yes, my Father, for such was your will. ²⁷Everything has been delivered to me by my Father, and no man knows the Son except the Father, nor does any man know the Father but the Son, and he to whomever the Son wishes to reveal.

²⁸¶ Come to me, all you who are tired out and carrying burdens, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am genial and meek in my heart, and you will find rest to your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is very pleasant, and my burden is light. (LAM)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹And when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities.

²Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples ³and said to him, "Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?" ⁴And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: ⁵the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. ⁶And blessed is he who takes no offense at me."

⁷As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸Why then did you go out? To see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft raiment are in kings' houses. ⁹Why then did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰This is he of whom it is written, `Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.' ¹¹Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹²From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and men of violence take it by force. ¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John; ¹⁴and if you are willing to accept it, he is Eli'jah who is to come. ¹⁵He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places and calling to their playmates, ¹⁷`We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.' <sup>18</sup>For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon'; ¹⁹the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, `Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."

²⁰Then he began to upbraid the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. ²¹"Woe to you, Chora'zin! woe to you, Beth-sa'ida! for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ²²But I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. ²³And you, Caper'na-um, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴But I tell you that it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."

²⁵At that time Jesus declared, "I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; ²⁶yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. ²⁷All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. ²⁸Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."(RSV)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.

²When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples ³to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?"

⁴Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: ⁵The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. ⁶Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me."

⁷As John's disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed swayed by the wind? ⁸If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces. ⁹Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰This is the one about whom it is written: "`I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' ¹¹I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹²From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it. ¹³For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. ¹⁴And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. ¹⁵He who has ears, let him hear.

¹⁶"To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: ¹⁷"`We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.' <sup>18</sup>For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, `He has a demon.' ¹⁹The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, `Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners."' But wisdom is proved right by her actions."

²⁰Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. ²¹"Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! 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. ²²But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. ²³And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. ²⁴But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."

²⁵At that time Jesus said, "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. ²⁶Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

²⁷"All things have been committed 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. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."(NIV)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹It happened that when Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities. ²Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples ³and said to him, 'Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?'

⁴Jesus answered them, 'Go and tell John the things which you_P hear and see: ⁵the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. ⁶Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.'

⁷As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, 'What did you_P go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸But what did you_P go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses. ⁹But why did you_P go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. ¹⁰For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.' ¹¹Most assuredly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. ¹²From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. ¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴If you_P are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come. ¹⁵He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶'But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions ¹⁷and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you_P didn't dance. We mourned for you, and you_P didn't lament.' ¹⁸For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' ¹⁹The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children.'

²⁰Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn't repent. ²¹'Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, 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. ²²But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. ²³You, Capernaum, who are exalted to Heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you.'

²⁵At that time, Jesus answered, 'I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants. ²⁶Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight. ²⁷All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

²⁸'Come to me, all you_P who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you_P will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'(WEB)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹It happened that when Yeshua had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and proclaim in their cities. ²Now when Yochanan heard in the prison the works of Messiah, he sent two of his disciples ³and said to him, 'Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?'

⁴Yeshua answered them, 'Go and tell Yochanan the things which you hear and see: ⁵the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. ⁶Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.'

⁷As these went their way, Yeshua began to say to the multitudes concerning Yochanan, 'What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in king's houses. ⁹But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. ¹⁰For this is he, of whom it is written, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.' ¹¹Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than Yochanan the Immerser; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. ¹²From the days of Yochanan the Immerser until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. ¹³For all the Prophets and the Torah prophesied until Yochanan. ¹⁴If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come. ¹⁵He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁶'But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions ¹⁷and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you didn't dance. We mourned for you, and you didn't lament.' ¹⁸For Yochanan came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' ¹⁹The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children.'

²⁰Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn't repent. ²¹'Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, 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. ²²But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. ²³You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Sheol. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until this day. ²⁴But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, on the day of judgment, than for you.'

²⁵At that time, Yeshua answered, 'I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants. ²⁶Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight. ²⁷All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

²⁸'Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'(WEB/HNV)

41 Matthew 11:1-30 ¹WHEN Jesus had finished commanding his 12 disciples, he departed from that place to teach and to preach in their cities. ²But when John heard in prison of the works of Messiah, he sent by his disciples, ³And said to him, Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect another? ⁴Jesus answered and said, Go and describe to John the things which you see and hear. ⁵The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise up, and the poor are given hope. ⁶Blessed is he who does not stumble on account of me. ⁷When they went away, Jesus began to speak to the people concerning John, What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed which is shaken by the wind? ⁸If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? Look those who wear fine clothes are in kings' houses. ⁹And if not, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet. ¹⁰For this is he of whom it is written, Look, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare the way before you. ¹¹Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has never risen one who is greater than John the Baptist; yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹²From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been administered by force, and only those in power control it. ¹³For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴And if you wish, accept it, that he is Elijah who was to come. ¹⁵He who has ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁶But to whom will I liken this generation? It is like boys who sit in the street and call to their friends. ¹⁷And say, We have sung to you, but you would not dance; and we have wailed to you but you did not mourn. ¹⁸For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they said he is crazy. ¹⁹The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and they said, Look, a glutton and a wine drinker, and a friend of tax collectors and sinners. Yet wisdom is justified by its works.

²⁰Then Jesus began to disgrace the cities in which his many works were done, and which did not repent. And he said, ²¹Woe to you, Chorazin. Woe to you, Bethsaida. If the works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they might have repented in sackcloth and ashes. ²²But I say to you, It will be easier for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. ²³And you, Capernaum, which have exalted yourself up to heaven, will be brought down to Sheol; if the works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would be standing to this day. ²⁴But I say to you, It will be easier for the land of Sodom in the judgment day, than for you.

²⁵At that time, Jesus answered and said, I thank you, my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the men of understanding, and you have revealed them to children. ²⁶Yes, my Father, for such was your will. ²⁷Everything has been delivered to me by my Father, and no man knows the Son except the Father, nor does any man know the Father but the Son, and to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. ²⁸Come to me, all you who labor and carry burdens, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke on you, and learn from me, for I am genial and meek in my heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰For my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.
