Matthew 11:12-24
12FromG575 theG3588 daysG2250 of JohnG2491 theG3588 BaptistG910 untilG2193 nowG737, theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772 has been subject to violenceG971,1 andG2532 the violentG973 lay claimG726 to itG846. 13ForG1063 allG3956 theG3588 ProphetsG4396 andG2532 theG3588 LawG3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491. 14AndG2532 ifG1487 you are willingG2309 to acceptG1209 it, heG846 isG1510 the ElijahG2243 who wasG3195 to comeG2064.2
15He whoG3588 hasG2192 earsG3775,3 let him hearG191.
To whatG5101 can I compareG3666 thisG3778 generationG1074? They areG1510 likeG3664 childrenG3813 sittingG2521 inG1722 theG3588 marketplacesG58 andG3739 calling outG4377 to othersG2087:
18ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 eatingG2068 norG3383 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, ‘He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 19TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095, andG2532 they sayG3004, ‘LookG2400 at this gluttonG5314 andG2532 drunkardG3630, a friendG5384 of tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268!’ ButG2532 wisdomG4678 is vindicatedG1344 byG575 herG846 actionsG2041.”
20ThenG5119 Jesus beganG756 to denounceG3679 theG3588 citiesG4172 inG1722 whichG3739 mostG4118 of HisG846 miraclesG1411 had been performedG1096, becauseG3754 they did not repentG3756G3340. 21“WoeG3759 to youG4771, ChorazinG5523! WoeG3759 to youG4771, BethsaidaG966! ForG3754 ifG1487 theG3588 miraclesG1411 that were performedG1096 inG1722 youG4771 had been performedG1096 inG1722 TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340 long agoG3819 inG1722 sackclothG4526 andG2532 ashesG4700. 22ButG4133 I tellG3004 youG4771, it will beG1510 more bearableG414 for TyreG5184 andG2532 SidonG4605 onG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 thanG2228 for youG4771.
23AndG2532 youG4771, CapernaumG2584, will you be lifted upG5312 toG2193 heavenG3772? No, you will be brought downG2597 toG2193 HadesG86! ForG3754 ifG1487 theG3588 miraclesG1411 that were performedG1096 inG1722 youG4771 had been performedG1096 inG1722 SodomG4670, it would have remainedG302G3306 toG3360 thisG3588 dayG4594. 24ButG4133 I tellG3004 youG4771 thatG3754 it will beG1510 more bearableG414 for SodomG4670 onG1722 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 thanG2228 for youG4771.”
