Matthew 11:13-21
13For allG3956 the ProphetsG4396 and the LawG3551 prophesiedG4395 untilG2193 JohnG2491. 14And ifG1487 you are willingG2309 to acceptG1209 it, John himselfG846 is 1ElijahG2243 who 2was to comeG2064. 153The one who hasG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, 4let him hearG191.
16“But to whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 thisG3778 generationG1074? It is likeG3664 childrenG3813 sittingG2521 in the marketplacesG58, whoG3739 callG4377 outG4377 to the otherG2087 children, 17and sayG3004, ‘We playedG832 theG832 fluteG832 for you, and you did not danceG3738; we sangG2354 aG2354 songG2354 ofG2354 mourningG2354, and you did not 5mournG2875.’ 18For JohnG2491 cameG2064 neitherG3383 6eatingG2068 norG3383 7drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, ‘8He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 19The SonG5207 of ManG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and they sayG3004, ‘BeholdG2400, a gluttonousG5314 manG444 and a 9heavyG3630 drinkerG3630, 10a friendG5384 of taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 11sinnersG268!’ And yet wisdomG4678 is vindicatedG1344 by her deedsG2041.”
20ThenG5119 He beganG757 to reprimandG3679 the citiesG4172 in whichG3739 mostG4183 of His 1213miraclesG1411 were doneG1096, becauseG3754 they did not repentG3340. 21“14WoeG3759 to you, ChorazinG5523! WoeG3759 to you, 15BethsaidaG966! For ifG1487 the 16miraclesG1411 that occurredG1096 in you had occurredG1096 in 17TyreG5184 and 18SidonG4605, they would have repentedG3340 longG3819 agoG3819 in 1920sackclothG4526 and ashesG4700.
