Matthew 11:16-27

16But whereunto shall I liken this generationG1074? It isG1510 like unto childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the marketplaces, who callG4377 unto their fellows 17and sayG3004, We piped unto you, and ye did not danceG3738; we wailed, and ye did not mournG2875. 18For JohnG2491 cameG2064 neither eatingG2068 nor drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, He hath a demonG1140. 19The SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, BeholdG2400, a gluttonous manG444 and a winebibber, a friendG5384 of publicans and sinnersG268! And wisdomG4678 is justifiedG1344 by her worksG2041.

20ThenG5119 beganG757 he to upbraid the citiesG4172 wherein most of his mightyG1411 works were done, because they repentedG3340 not. 21WoeG3759 unto thee, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 unto thee, BethsaidaG966! for if the mightyG1411 works had been done in TyreG5184 and SidonG4605 which were done in you, they would have repentedG3340 longG3819 agoG3819 in sackclothG4526 and ashesG4700. 22But I sayG3004 unto you, it shall beG1510 moreG414 tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 and SidonG4605 in the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, than for you. 23And thou, CapernaumG2584, shalt thou be exaltedG5312 unto heavenG3772? thou shalt goG2597 down unto HadesG86: for if the mightyG1411 works had been done in SodomG4670 which were done in thee, it would have remainedG3306 until this dayG4594. 24But I sayG3004 unto you that it shall beG1510 moreG414 tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of SodomG4670 in the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, than for thee.

25At that seasonG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, I thank thee, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 and earthG1093, that thou didst hideG2928 these thingsG3778 from the wiseG4680 and understanding, and didst revealG601 them unto babes: 26yea, FatherG3962, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 27All thingsG3956 have been deliveredG3860 unto me of my FatherG3962: and no oneG3762 knoweth the SonG5207, save the FatherG3962; neither doth any knowG1921 the FatherG3962, save the SonG5207, and he to whomsoever the SonG5207 willeth to revealG601 him.
