Matthew 11

Darby Bible

1And it cameG1096 to passG1096 whenG3753 JesusG2424 had finishedG5055 commanding his twelveG1427 disciplesG3101, he departedG3327 thence to teachG1321 and preachG2784 in their citiesG4172. 2But JohnG2491, having heardG191 in the prisonG1201 the worksG2041 of the ChristG5547, sentG3992 by his disciplesG3101, 3and saidG3004 to him, Art thou the comingG2064 [oneG3588]? or areG1510 we to wait for another? 4And JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004 to them, GoG4198, reportG518 to JohnG2491 what ye hearG191 and seeG991. 5BlindG5185 [menG5185] seeG308 and lameG5560 walkG4043; lepersG3015 are cleansedG2511, and deafG2974 hearG191; and deadG3498 are raisedG1453, and poorG4434 have glad tidings preached to them: 6and blessed isG1510 whosoever shall not beG1510 offendedG4624 in me. 7But as they wentG1831 [awayG1831], JesusG2424 beganG757 to sayG3004 to the crowdsG3793 concerningG4012 JohnG2491, What wentG1831 ye out into the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? a reedG2563 moved about by the windG417? 8But what wentG1831 ye out to seeG3708? a manG444 clothed in delicate raiment? beholdG2400, those who wearG5409 delicate things areG1510 in the houses of kingsG935. 9But what wentG1831 ye out to seeG3708? a prophetG4396? Yea, I sayG3004 to you, and more than a prophetG4396: 10this isG1510 he of whom it isG1510 writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I sendG649 my messengerG32 before thy faceG4383, who shall prepareG2680 thy wayG3598 before thee. 11Verily I sayG3004 to you, that there isG1510 not arisenG1453 among [the] born of womenG1135 a greaterG3173 than JohnG2491 the baptistG910. But he who isG1510 a littleG3398 oneG3588 in the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 isG1510 greaterG3173 than he. 12But from the daysG2250 of JohnG2491 the baptistG910 until nowG1161, the kingdomG932 of the heavensG3772 is taken by violence, and [the] violent seizeG726 on it. 13For all the prophetsG4396 and the lawG3551 have prophesiedG4395 unto JohnG2491. 14And if ye will receiveG1209 it, this isG1510 Elias, who isG1510 to comeG2064. 15He that has earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191. 16But to whom shall I liken this generationG1074? It isG1510 like childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the markets, which, calling to their companions, 17sayG3004, We have piped to you, and ye have not dancedG3738: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed. 18For JohnG2491 has comeG2064 neither eatingG2068 nor drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, He has a demonG1140. 19The SonG5207 of manG444 has comeG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, BeholdG2400, a manG444 [that is] eatingG2068 and wine-drinking, a friendG5384 of tax-gatherers, and of sinnersG268: — and wisdomG4678 has been justifiedG1344 by her children. 20ThenG5119 beganG757 he to reproach the citiesG4172 in which most of his works of powerG1411 had taken placeG1096, because they had not repentedG3340. 21WoeG3759 to thee, ChorazinG5523! woeG3759 to thee BethsaidaG966! for if the works of powerG1411 which have taken placeG1096 in you, had taken placeG1096 in TyreG5184 and SidonG4605, they had longG3819 agoG3819 repentedG3340 in sackclothG4526 and ashesG4700. 22But I sayG3004 to you, that it shall beG1510 moreG414 tolerableG414 for TyreG5184 and SidonG4605 in judgment-day than for you. 23And thou, CapernaumG2584, who hast been raised up to heavenG3772, shalt be brought downG2597 evenG2532 to hadesG86. For if the works of powerG1411 which have taken placeG1096 in thee, had taken placeG1096 in SodomG4670, it had remainedG3306 until this dayG4594. 24But I sayG3004 to you, that it shall beG1510 moreG414 tolerableG414 for [the] landG1093 of SodomG4670 in judgment-day than for thee. 25At that timeG2540, JesusG2424 answeringG611 saidG3004, I praise thee, FatherG3962, LordG2962 of the heavenG3772 and of the earthG1093, that thou hast hidG2928 these thingsG3778 from the wiseG4680 and prudent, and hast revealedG601 them to babes. 26Yea, FatherG3962, for thusG3779 has it been well-pleasing in thy sight. 27All thingsG3956 have been deliveredG3860 to me by my FatherG3962, and no oneG3762 knowsG1921 the SonG5207 but the FatherG3962, nor does any oneG3762 knowG1921 the FatherG3962, but the SonG5207, and he to whom the SonG5207 may be pleased to revealG601 [him]. 28ComeG1205 to me, all ye who labour and are burdened, and I will give you restG373. 29TakeG142 my yokeG2218 upon you, and learnG3129 from me; for I amG1510 meek and lowly in heartG2588; and ye shall findG2147 restG372 to your soulsG5590; 30for my yokeG2218 isG1510 easy, and my burdenG5413 isG1510 light.
